Histones are a family of small ... Indeed, this is just one area of DNA packaging that researchers will continue to explore in the years to come.

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

Histones are not only essential for packaging and DNA into a compact form called chromatin, but also are decorated with chemical modifications that serve as signals or signposts marking locations ...

A second epigenetic mechanism implicated in learning and memory involves modification of histones, the proteins that DNA wraps around for organization and packaging within the nucleus 3,7. The basic ...

Histones are key proteins in the organisation and regulation of DNA in all eukaryotic cells, i.e. cells in which DNA is contained in a nucleus. This includes fungi, plants and animals. However ...

Histones are not only essential for packaging and DNA into a compact form called chromatin, but also are decorated with chemical modifications that serve as signals or signposts marking locations ...

Epigenetic regulation relies on the dynamic modification of the two building blocks of chromatin: DNA and histone packaging proteins, to establish and maintain cell identity and fate. We develop and ...

They observed backtracking in many genes involved in making proteins from RNA; regulating cell division; and copying and packaging DNA. The hotspot for persistent backtracking ... The researchers also ...

Daphne Avgousti studies how viruses hijack the DNA packaging of the cells they infect ... We are interested in how adenovirus manipulates host chromatin through protein VII and more broadly how DNA ...
