Mount Sinai researchers have discovered that Polycomb complexes, groups of proteins that maintain gene expression patterns, are essential for proper skin development, according to a paper published in ...
Most of our genome is often written off as “junk DNA”, meaning it doesn’t encode for genes that get made into proteins. This so-called junk consists of accumulated DNA elements like viral DNA that got ...
Prostate cancer becomes fatal when associated with metastasis. In the October 10 Nature, Sooryanarayana Varambally and colleagues describe a microarray-based analysis of genes whose expression is ...
A multi-institutional study has discovered spontaneous mutations in RNF2 (RING2) gene as the underlying cause of a novel neurological disorder. A multi-institutional study has discovered spontaneous ...
Changes in histone modifications of genes involved in flowering. (a) The removal of Polycomb complexes by SDG7 protein. (b) Transcription elongation and the deposition of H3K36me3 by SDG8 protein. PRE ...
Two Polycomb complexes have been found to act together to control the development of skin and can cover for each other if one complex is damaged. A recent study led by researchers at the Icahn School ...
A multi-institutional study has discovered spontaneous mutations in RNF2 (RING2) gene as the underlying cause of a novel neurological disorder. This Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) study was led by ...
Methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) is widely recognized as a transcriptionally repressive chromatin modification but the mechanism of repression remains unclear. We devised and implemented a ...
