Circadian oscillations are generated via transcriptional-translational negative feedback loops. However, individual cells from fibroblast cell lines have heterogeneous rhythms, oscillating independently and with different period lengths. Here we showed that heterogeneity in circadian period is heritable and used a multi-omics

Regulatory genes are often hypermethylated at their promoter 5' regions and silenced in cancer. Epigenetic therapy with DNA methylation inhibitors have been shown to result in the demethylation and reactivation of these genes. Zebularine is a recently discovered mechanism-based inhibitor

Sepsis is among the leading causes of death with no specific etiology or treatment. Increase in health burden in terms of cost, morbidity, and mortality is the reason behind the continuous search for different treatment modalities which involve several targets/approach

The maintenance of genome integrity over cell divisions is critical for plant development and the correct transmission of genetic information to the progeny. A key factor involved in this process is the STRUCTURAL MAINTENANCE OF CHROMOSOME5 (SMC5) and SMC6 (SMC5/6)
