Decade-long search in one-celled, fresh water dwelling organism solves puzzle involved in gene regulation

After an intrepid, decade-long search, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a new role for a pair of enzymes that regulate genome function and, when missing or mutated, are linked to diseases such as brain tumors, blood cancers and Kleefstra syndrome -; a rare genetic, neurocognitive disorder.
