LA JOLLA, California, May 14 -- The University of California campus issued the following news release:
Until human genes are activated, they are blocked by structures known as nucleosomes, components that serve to package DNA inside cells.
For the past several decades, scientists have been trying to determine how these nucleosome roadblocks clear out to allow genes to be turned on. Now, a team of scientists led by postdoctoral researcher Jia Fei in James Kadonaga's . . .
