In mice, epigenetic marks made on histones during infancy influence depression-like behavior during adulthood. A drug that reverses the genomic tags appears to undo the damage.

Mouse fathers whose sperm lacks the gene Kdm6a pass down altered methylation patterns to male offspring, along with a better chance of developing tumors and dying.

This year’s winners are C. David Allis, Michael Grunstein, John Glen, and Joan Steitz.

A study of chemical tags on histone proteins hints at how the same genome can yield very different animals.

The UCLA geneticist examines how defects in a histone protein lead to symptoms throughout the body.

Regular replacement of histones in human and murine neurons is required for neuronal plasticity, a study shows.

A chromatin remodeler in embryonic stem cells clears the DNA for mRNA transcription while stifling the expression of noncoding transcripts.

Scientists show how roundworm daughter cells remember the histone modification patterns of their parents.

Histones stored on lipid droplets in fly embryos provide a backup supply when newly synthesized ones are lacking.
