Can epigenetic variation influence adaptation in nature?
For much of the last century, evolutionary biology has emphasized gradual changes in DNA sequence as the primary driver of new traits and adaptive potential.

[Life Sciences at LUMS @BiologyLums]

This occurs through chemical modifications known as methylation tags - epigenetic marks that attach to DNA and regulate how genomes are expressed. The article can be accessed at:

His research focuses on understanding role of genetic variation in histone proteins to influence transition to flowering. He is addressing this fundamental question using natural populations of model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana.
Congratulations Amjad Nawaz and Dr Zaigham Shahzad.

What if we could build complete maps of allosteric sites for entire proteins? Now we can. Super excited to see this heroic effort by @WengChenchun @BenLehner @AlbertIltirda finally published. https://t.co/lS1J48h8Qk

Gene expression involves thousands of proteins that bind DNA, yet comprehensively mapping these is challenging. We developed ChIP-DIP – a method for simultaneous, genome-wide mapping of hundreds of DNA-protein interactions in a single experiment. https://t.co/NEH92mQTGs

Myths busted: Ummah (the Muslim nationhood) exists. Colonialism is dead. Western values. Monarchies.

Furthermore, with some exceptions, including the poorest Muslim country (Yemen), all Arab and Muslim states have a hand in the genocide. Their rulers are self-serving puppets.
