The tool works by facilitating the acetylation of histones at specific promoters or enhancers.<br /><br /> “There are already drugs that will affect enhancers across the whole genome, but that’s like scorching the earth,” Timothy Reddy, a bioinformatician at Duke University and coauthor of the study, said in a press release. “I wanted to develop tools to go in and modify very specific epigenetic marks in very specific places to find out what individual enhancers are doing.”http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/42608/title/CRISPR-Enabled-Epigenome-Editing/<br />https://youtu.be/FuJIdqy6Xn4CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-88680697884498006412015-04-07T21:36:18.345-05:002015-04-07T21:36:18.345-05:00Longer answer.

As DD is quick to point out, the U.S. remains the global food production super power with no end to that agrarian hegemony in sight. <br /><br />Finally, with even the Southern Baptists trending in the direction of Pope Francis http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/04/southern-baptists-wrestle-with-the-sin-of-racism/389808/ - I'm not so sure things are as far along into hell-in-a-handbasket as your lament presupposes. <br /><br />Maybe you should stop inhaling those Marcus Garvey meets Pat Buchanan political fumes you been huffing lo these many years, and come on out into the fresh air of an integrated Roman Catholic parish/diocese and do a little constructive community service.
