Biological pathways supporting the formation and function of chromatin (Scholarship)

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology
Every cell in our body contains the same DNA yet each cell expresses a different set of genes. These changes in gene expression are heavily influenced by histone proteins, their role in packaging DNA into chromatin and the “epigenetic” information they carry. Read more
