Chromatin remodeling inactivates activity genes and regulates neural coding

The activity of neurons in the brain controls the transcription of genes that influence the pruning of dendritic connections between neurons, and such modifications can influence animal behavior. Yang et al. propose a role for chromatin remodeling by the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase complex...

The proteins TONSL (Tonsoku-like, a DNA repair protein) and MMS22L (methyl methanesulfonate-sensitivity protein 22-like, another DNA repair protein) form a complex known to be necessary for replication fork stability and repair of replication-associated DNA damage. The TONSL-MMS22L complex was a...

Nature Reviews Genetics: Over the past few decades, epigenetics has evolved from a collection of curious biological phenomena to a functionally dissected research field. In this article, the authors provide a personal perspective on the advances of research into epigenetics — from its historical origins to its modern era — with a focus on molecular breakthroughs. http://go.nature.com/296ntv7
