5-Methylcytosine RNA Methylation in Arabidopsis Thaliana Published: November, 2017 Abstract:
5-Methylcytosine (m5C) is a well-characterized DNA modification, and is also predominantly reported in abundant non-coding RNAs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. However, the distribution and biological functions of m5C in plant mRNAs remain lar... Read more » Tags Antibody
CDK8/19 Mediator kinases potentiate induction of transcription by NFκB Published: September, 2017 Abstract:
The nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) family of transcription factors has been implicated in inflammatory disorders, viral infections, and cancer. Most of the drugs that inhibit NFκB show significant side effects, possibly due to sustaine... Read more » Tags Antibody
Epigenetic variation between urban and rural populations of Darwin's finches Published: August, 2017 Abstract:
Background
The molecular basis of evolutionary change is assumed to be genetic variation. However, growing evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, may also be involved in rapid adaptation to new environments. An... Read more » Tags Antibody
Circadian Reprogramming in the Liver Identifies Metabolic Pathways of Aging Published: August, 2017 Abstract:
The process of aging and circadian rhythms are intimately intertwined, but how peripheral clocks involved in metabolic homeostasis contribute to aging remains unknown. Importantly, caloric restriction (CR) extends lifespan in several organisms and... Read more » Tags Antibody
