Dear Editor, p53-binding protein 1 (53BP1) is a critical regulator of cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) . To accomplish its repair function, 53BP1 must be recruited to the chromatin surrounding...
Temperature influences the distribution, range, and phenology of plants. The key transcriptional activators of heat shock response in eukaryotes, the heat shock factors (HSFs), have undergone large-scale gene amplif...
A research team led by Professor He Xionglei at the College of Life Sciences,Sun Yat-sen(Zhongshan) University made a breakthrough in understanding how chromatin structure regulates spontaneous mutations,with a discov...
