Abstract Histone modifications and chromatin‐binding proteins play crucial roles in regulating gene expression in eukaryotes, with significant implications for fungal pathogenicity and development. However, profiling t...

In the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) a germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) is regularly present in males and females. While the GRC is euchromatic in oocytes, in spermatocytes this chromosome is cytologically seen a...

Background: Nucleosomes are the building blocks of chromatin where gene regulation takes place. Chromatin landscapes have been profiled for several species, providing insights into the fundamental mechanisms of chromatin...

Abstract Background Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) stands as the most widespread chronic liver disorder globally. Histone β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb)—a novel post-translational modif...

Background: Histone methylation modifies the epigenetic state of target genes to regulate gene expression in the context of developmental and environmental changes. Previously, we used a positive genetic screen to identi...

Understanding central nervous system genesis is of crucial relevance to decode different human diseases such as microcephaly or neural tube defects, which arise from incorrect developmental processes. Epigenetic mechanis...

Abstract Histone post-translational modifications epigenetically regulate gene expression by modulating nucleosome structure and DNA accessibility. This review outlines how unique patterns of modifications on canonical ...

Abstract Therapeutic resistance remains a major cause of treatment failure and disease recurrence across cancer types, considerably limiting the long-term efficacy of chemotherapies, targeted therapies, and immunotherapi...

ABSTRACT Background The genome‐wide profiling of chromatin states that are defined by different histone posttranslational modifications, known as epigenomic profiling, is crucial for understanding the epigenetic regula...

Abstract Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Understanding the molecular mechanism of tumor metastasis is of great significance to cancer research. However, the molecular diagnosis and treatment of ...

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a metastasis-prone malignancy that is highly prevalent in endemic regions. Epigenetic dysregulation, including aberrant DNA/RNA/protein methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding...

Abstract Background Witches’ broom is an important disease of the Paulownia fortunei. Understanding the pathogenesis of witches’ broom is a prerequisite for its prevention and control. Phytoplasma is the pathogen of ...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease around the world, with at least 40% global prevalence. Although genetic susceptibility contributes to disease risk...

Trichomonas vaginalis is a common sexually transmitted parasite that colonizes the human urogenital tract causing infections that range from asymptomatic to highly inflammatory. Recent works have highlighted the importan...

Alternative splicing plays critical roles in differentiation, development, and disease and is a major source for protein diversity in higher eukaryotes. Analysis of alternative splicing regulation has traditionally focus...

In the context of climate change and the need to reduce pesticide and agrochemical use, the development of sustainable crops is becoming increasingly important. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone modifications, allow...

Identifying the factors that regulate female reproduction is crucial to understanding how the environment affects female reproductive health. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) and its ligands (primarily 1,25(OH)2D3) have a re...

Abstract Here, we review mathematical models of epigenetic memory, focusing on chromatin modifications as key mechanisms to achieve long-term maintenance of epigenetic states. After reviewing the main stochastic modeling...

Abstract Histone modifications by histone deacetylases (HDACs) are essential for controlling chromatin structure and regulating gene expression. Functionally, HDACs act as enzymatic subunits within diverse multisubunit c...

The GABAergic neurotransmission is a highly conserved system that has been attributed to various regulatory events. There has been a notable number of studies on the importance of GABAergic neurotransmission, both excita...

The reference human genome sequence set the stage for studies of genetic variation and its association with human disease, but epigenomic studies lack a similar reference. To address this need, the NIH Roadmap Epigenomic...

AbstractPsychostimulants regulate behavioral responses in zebrafish via epigenetic mechanisms. We have previously shown that DNAmethylation and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition abolish nicotine-induced conditioned p...
