It is important to note that although we have some idea about the propagation of DNA methylation and models are emerging for the duplication of histone PTMs, very little is known about the ...

which paralleled acetylation of K9 and K14, while transcriptionally inactive chromatin was associated with K9 methylation. While this study supports the existence of gene regulation by a histone ...

Thus, histone modifications generally represent a more complex and diverse mechanism to affect gene transcription than DNA methylation. In fact, one effect of DNA methylation can be to recruit ...

Their aim was to explore what role epigenetics plays in generating phenotypic differences between genetically identical twins. The researchers analyzed the twins' global DNA methylation and histone H3 ...

In a groundbreaking study led by Dr. Ying Chen and her team from Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, researchers have uncovered a novel mechanism behind endothelial ...

with changes in histone acetylation and methylation found in atherosclerotic tissues. Environmental exposure is a significant theme throughout the review. It discusses how factors such as air ...

Examples include DNA methylation and histone acetylation, which can turn genes on or off. Despite their differences, both mechanisms contribute to molecular aging. Researchers have long speculated ...
