“Genetic and epigenetic control of x-chromosome inactivation”. Edith Heard

Thursday, November 6, 2014

The X-chromosome is a fundamental model to study how identical DNA sequences are treated differently from the chromatin organization factors. Exploring the structure of the X-chromosome it is…

“Lox2 oxidizes methylated TAF10 and controls neural progenitos specification”. Sandra Peiró

Thursday, November 6, 2014

Despite the post-translational modification of proteins are mainly considered uncontrolled phenomenon, active enzymes regulate phosphorylation, methylation and oxidation of proteins. Important oxidation processes seem to be crucial for…
