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 ...
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 ...
