Unveiling how nucleosome repositioning occurs to shed light on genetic diseases

Friday, April 14, 2017 - 14:21 in Biology & Nature

For the first time, researchers have unveiled the three-dimensional structure of an overlapping dinucleosome, a newly discovered chromatin structural unit. This may explain how nucleosome repositioning occurs and provide valuable information for understanding chromatin dynamics during transcription and developing drugs to treat genetic diseases.
