Died: March 21, 2021. IN the 1950s James Hardie Brown and his brother Ian left their native Fife for Perthshire and bought Innergask Farm, in the parish of Findo Gask. Part of the land was covered by a concrete aerodrome and, towards the end of the decade, they decided to get rid of it by using a Traxcavator, a combined tractor and excavator. The machine aroused interest in the neighbourhood and the brothers began renting it out. This inspired their plant hire business and, in 1964, they founded I & H Brown, which in time would diversify into construction, mining, house-building and land remediation.

Researchers in the Muir Lab at Princeton University s Department of Chemistry have completed the first comprehensive analysis of cancer-associated histone mutations in the human genome, featuring both biochemical and cellular characterizations of these substrates. Their study reports that histone mutations that perturb nucleosome remodeling may contribute to the development or progression of a wide range of human cancers.
Within the human genome, DNA is wrapped around disc-shaped structures made up of eight histone proteins, each forming nucleosomes. Repeating nucleosome units comprise chromatin, a storehouse of genetic information that is both structured and dynamic. Broadly, the Muir Lab seeks to understand how chromatin controls genetic processes in the cell and how disruption of these processes
