In a study that takes another look at histones' origins, researchers report these proteins, known for DNA-packing, may have evolutionary roots in early life in helping to maintain the use of metals ...

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Seqencing (ChIP-Seq) is a powerful tool that enables researchers to investigate and understand protein−DNA interactions and the influence these have on gene expression ...
