Chromatin consists of a complex of DNA and histone proteins as its core components and
plays an important role in both packaging DNA and regulating DNA metabolic pathways …

Chromosomes in eukaryotic cell nuclei are not uniformly organized, but rather contain
distinct chromatin elements, with each state having a defined biochemical structure and …

Heterochromatin is a key architectural feature of eukaryotic chromosomes, which endows
particular genomic domains with specific functional properties. The capacity of …

In eukaryotic cells, gene expressions on chromosome DNA are orchestrated by a dynamic
chromosome structure state that is largely controlled by chromatin-regulating proteins, which …

Genomic DNA in the eukaryotic nucleus is hierarchically packaged by histones into
chromatin to fit inside the nucleus. The dynamics of higher-order chromatin compaction play …

The Third Edition of Chromatin: Structure and Function brings the reader up-to-date with the
remarkable progress in chromatin research over the past three years. It has been …

Eukaryotic genomic DNA is combined with histones, nonhistone proteins, and RNA to form
chromatin, which is extensively packaged hierarchically to fit inside a cell's nucleus. The …

Heterochromatin is a constituent of eukaryotic genomes with functions spanning from gene
expression silencing to constraining DNA replication and repair. Inside the nucleus …

Fundamental mechanisms that regulate chromatin assembly and transcription have been
elucidated recently using genetics and highly defined biochemical systems. Once DNA is …

Chromatin is generally classified as euchromatin or heterochromatin, each with distinct
histone modifications, compaction levels, and gene expression patterns. Although the …
