- Scientists reveal structure of gateways to gene control
03-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
The first complete high-resolution map of structures that control how genes are packaged and regulated throughout an entire genome has been compiled by Penn State scientists. The research suggests how certain nucleosomes control whether a gene's function can be turned on. The study reveals an intimate relationship between the architecture of nucleosomes and the underlying DNA sequences they regulate, including a critical gateway that must be unlocked before a gene can be transcribed.
