Modifications of the chromatin are crucial for the regulation of nearly all DNA-templated biological processes. Single-cell chromatin modification profiling can be used to assess chromatin ...

Epigenetics is the study of how our cells alter their function by modifying gene expression in our genetic code or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). In our cells, DNA is constantly being used to generate ...

Researchers have identified a method to enhance the effectiveness of a promising cancer treatment. They found that modifying a specific gene improves the ability of immune cells to combat cancer for ...

The human body has to protect itself from pathogens and infectious agents, and there are a variety of ways for the immune system to sense foreign invaders, and react to the threats they may pose. But ...

A new tool called SigRM helps researchers study RNA modifications in individual cells, improving our understanding of how genes are regulated. Researchers have developed a new tool that will help ...

The fountain of youth has eluded explorers for ages. It turns out the magic anti-aging elixir might have been inside us all along. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Assistant Professor Corina Amor ...

There is an explosion of single-cell genomics profiling technologies. Although major advances have been made in measuring gene expression and DNA accessibility, assays specific to epigenetic ...

Researchers created atomic-level models of the spike protein that plays a key role in COVID-19 infection and immunity, revealing how the protein bends and moves as it seeks to engage receptors. When ...
