A novel, freely available AI tool has cut the time it takes to determine chromatin structure from days to minutes. The 3D structure of DNA is important for controlling cell-specific gene expression ...

AMES, Iowa – In their long strings of nucleotides, DNA molecules hold massive troves of genetic data providing instructions for how living organisms should function – the blueprint of life. How the ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, offering fresh insight into how human cells build and maintain chromatin, ...

Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this process can also lead to cancer and other diseases. To better understand how chromatin ...

A recent study has shed light on the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of Penicillium expansum, the fungal culprit behind blue mold disease in fruits. By mapping chromatin accessibility at ...

Cars patched up after a wreck may look fixed—but never run quite as before. The same may hold true for chromatin, according to a study published in Science on November 6. In response to double-strand ...

The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests. Published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the work by researchers at King's College London ...
