Uncovering the Complex Interplay Between Transcription and Epigenetics
The dynamic relationship between transcription and epigenetic processes has been the focus of many studies within the scientific community, but now researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have developed a new method to more fully understand this relationship. By combining single-cell RNA sequencing and epigenomics data, the team was able to map out the dynamic transcriptional and epigenetic landscape of cells in unprecedented detail. This new approach could provide insight into the mechanisms of gene regulation, which may be useful for the development of new treatments for various diseases.
