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

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.

Archaea packages DNA around histones in a similar way to eukaryotes, suggesting that fitting a large genome into a small space was not the original role of chromatin.

The scientist who pioneered cloning has found that a histone may act as a cellular reset button.  

Long non-protein-coding RNA (lncRNA) sequences are often transcribed from the opposite, or antisense, strand of a protein coding gene. In the past few years, research has shown that these lncRNAs play a number of regulatory roles in the cell. For exa
