Heinrich-Mora & Feldman: "results suggest that mutation rate is systematically structured by chromatin state within functionally constrained genes and that evolutionary processes may act not only on expected mutation rate but also on its variability across loci."

A plant histone H3.3-specific amino acid safeguards the deposition of H3K36 methylation for proper development and stress responses Plant histone variant H3.3 uniquely carries T31 rather than the S31 found in animals. Li et al. demonstrate that T31 prevents plant-specific ATXR5/6-mediated H3K27me1 deposition, which would otherwise...

Environmental exposure trains the immune system to dampen allergic responses Clean living conditions that lessen exposure to microorganisms are linked to an increase in allergies. Mouse data reveal how the environment affects allergic immune responses.

The most influential explanation of a recent surge in allergies is the hygiene hypothesis
