The University of Nottingham highlight the biochemical pathway responsible for creating blue-green veining in cheese
Our genomes provide the instructions for proper growth and development. Millions of genomic switches, known as enhancers, control the location and timing of gene expression, which in turn ensures the correct proteins are made in the right cells at the right time throughout our lives.
Researchers from the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute, spearheaded by the Cancer Epigenetics group led by Dr. Manel Esteller, described the effects of chemotherapy at the single cell resolution in the bone marrow of Myelodysplastic Syndrome patients.
The genetic material, in the form of DNA, contains the information that is crucial for the correct functioning of every human and animal cell.
