PLAMseq Revolutionizes Simultaneous Analysis of Genome Proteins and Their Locations

A team from the Andalusian Centre for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER) has developed an innovative technique called PLAMseq (proximity-labelled affinity-purified mass spectrometry plus sequencing) that, for the first time, allows simultaneous analysis of chromatin-associated proteins and their location in the genome in a single experiment.

Study Reveals ATM-Driven Mechanism Behind Telomere-Induced Senescence

After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres-the protective caps at the chromosome ends-those caps eventually become too short to prevent chromosome ends from being recognized as DNA breaks.

Bird flu withstands human fever

Avian influenza viruses pose a specific risk to people, as they can multiply at temperatures exceeding a normal fever, which is a defense mechanism used by the body to halt viruses, according to new research conducted by Cambridge and Glasgow universities.

DNA Rigidity Inside the Nucleosome Regulates INO80 Positioning

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the nucleosome regulates the positioning of INO80. This highlights that the physical structure and shape of DNA, not just genetic information, are key components of DNA transcription.
