Discover how histone modifications unlock secrets of human aging, rivaling the precision of DNA methylation in decoding biological age. In a recent study published in the journal Science Advances ...

DNA methylation and histone modification influence each other during development. Histone methylation can help to direct DNA methylation patterns, and DNA methylation seems to serve as a template ...

The beads are called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome is made of DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins that function like a spool and are called a histone octamer. Each histone octamer is composed ...
