The two halves of the human brain are connected by several so called commissures. These crossing tracts link structures of the right and the left cerebral hemisphere, mediating coordination and [...]
A plethora of factors act together in the cell to ensure that DNA is correctly duplicated and distributed to daughter cells during cell division. Scientists have now uncovered a new factor [...]
SMCHD1 encodes the structural maintenance of chromosomes flexible hinge domain containing 1 protein, a member of the large SMC protein family. It is involved in epigenetic regulation of various [...]
It is an extremely rare congenital disease with a very striking appearance: When children are born with no nose or with incompletely developed nasal structures, they have a condition called [...]
KMT2B belongs to the KMT2 gene family and encodes the lysine-specific histone methyltransferase 2B (KMT2B). KMT2B acts in a multiprotein complex which effects gene regulation by epigenetic [...]
CHD4 is a member of the CHD gene family and encodes the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 4 (CHD4), a chromatin-remodelling protein that is involved in epigenetic gene regulation [...]
