TECHNICAL REPORT

Nucleosome Remodeling Assay by Restriction Enzyme Accessibility

Nucleosome remodeling (or repositioning) regulates DNA access on chromatin and thus impacts gene expression and genome repair. Many ATP-dependent remodeling enzymes (and their multi-subunit complexes) are associated with human disease but are notoriously challenging targets to study biochemically due to the requirement for nucleosome-based substrates. EpiCypher has addressed this need by developing EpiDyne™, a family of recombinant nucleosome substrates to monitor nucleosome remodeling activity in vitro.  Here, EpiCypher describes the use of EpiDyne Nucleosome Remodeling Substrates in a Restriction Enzyme Accessibility (REA) assay.

EVENTS

Join us for the following events:

Mirus Bio - Free Webinar Addressing the Challenges of Therapeutic Vector Development

This webinar will discuss factors that are critical for viral vector development from the analytical scale to larger clinical-scale manufacturing modalities. Drawing attention to these parameters will ultimately lead to better downstream transductions for gene expression and knockdowns or genome editing.

Tuesday, November 7, 2017, 11:00 am EST

NuGEN - Free Webinar Discussing the Role of Non-CpG DNA Methylation in Neurological Disorders

This webinar will discuss the role of a newly discovered, brain-enriched form of non-CpG DNA methylation in neural development and disease. Neurons in the brain must express diverse complements of genes in order to form synaptic connections and execute physiological responses to stimulation. But how is this complex neuronal transcriptome regulated? Do unique mechanisms exist in neurons to control this process?

^MJSBioLynx WELL BEING

Mindfulness for Children

"Children of all ages can benefit from mindfulness, the simple practice of bringing a gentle, accepting attitude to the present moment. It can help parents and caregivers, too, by promoting happiness and relieving stress. Here, we offer basic tips for children and adults of all ages, as well as several activities that develop compassion, focus, curiosity and empathy. And remember, mindfulness can be fun."

At ^MJSBioLynx Well Being, Cherin practices meditation with the local swim team and with the children at the Montessori school.  It's been a very rewarding experience and the children do amazingly well.
