Nucleosome remodeling factor NURF and in vitro transcription of chromatin

G Mizuguchi, C Wu - Chromatin Protocols, 1999 - Springer
A central problem in the control of eukaryotic gene expression is how the compaction of
DNA in chromatin is overcome to allow the initiation and elongation of transcription (1–6) …

[HTML][HTML] Role of nucleosome remodeling factor NURF in transcriptional activation of chromatin

G Mizuguchi, T Tsukiyama, J Wisniewski, C Wu - Molecular cell, 1997 - cell.com
