Beyond the DNA: Chemical signatures reveal genetic switches in the genome

...s an important step towards large-scale functional annotation of 'enhancers,' which establish the rate at which gene expression occurs and determine the tissues in which genes are expressed. "The human genome is packaged within each cell by chromatin, a structure composed of DNA wrapped around proteins calle...

Application of Genomatix in silico methods reveals novel cancer associated genes

...Two years ago we introduced our own concepts of an annotation and biology driven microarray analysis pipeline, and were heavily contested in the beginning. Today it is so rewarding to our scientists and developers to see the impact of our own ideas and research to cutting edge science of today." ...
