Mechanism of Mutant Histone Protein in Childhood Brain Cancer Revealed
April 1, 2013 — Researchers have shown how a mutated histone protein inhibits an enzyme, which normally keeps cell growth in check, and causes a rare form of pediatric brain cancer called DIPG. Their findings reveal ... > full story -
New Insights Into How Genes Turn on and Off
March 27, 2013 — Researchers have shed new light on methylation, a critical process that helps control how genes are expressed. Working with placentas, the team discovered that 37 percent of the placental genome has ... > full story -
Novel Way Plants Pass Traits to Next Generation: Inheritance Behavior in Corn Breaks Accepted Rules of Genetics
