Quantitative approach on understanding how epigenetic switches control gene expression

Scienmag

Credit: Nucleic Acids Research Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology decipher how to quantitatively assess the effects of specific epigenetic changes on the rate of transcription by developing a mathematical model. Their study published in Nucleic Acids Research provides an accurate quantitative approach […].
