The State of Epigenetic EditingSeptember 27, 2012If the field of epigenetics is heading into adolescence (rapid growth, disruptive, with occasional data tantrums), the arena of Epigenetic Editing (gene-specific rewriting of epigenetic marks) is more zygotic than anything, with far more questions than answers. But the concept of systematically manipulating epigenetic marks to modulate gene expression is injecting some air back into […]
NIH Protein Capture Reagents ProgramSeptember 26, 2012The NIH is seeking broad community input (that means you) to prioritize a list for renewable affinity reagents for human transcription factors. This outreach effort is part of the Protein Capture Reagents Program (http://commonfund.nih.gov/proteincapture/). This program was initiated by the NIH Common Fund in response to concerns raised by scientific community regarding the lack of access to […]
Webinar: Exploring Genome-Wide Organization of Chromatin Structure by ChIPSeptember 26, 2012Our friends at Abcam are hosting a lovely webinar for those of you seeking to ChIP away at chromatin enlightenment. Topics to be discussed include: Introduction to chromatin, ChIP (Chromatin IP) and usages of the method Overview of genomic approaches to map in-vivo chromatin structure (ChIP-seq and ChIP-chip) Detailed description of genome-wide mapping of chromatin by ChIP-seq and ChIP-chip […]
