Nucleosome Structure & Function across Biological Scales and Biological Function (NUCLEOSOME4D)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
Chromatin packages a few meters of DNA into a nucleus measuring a few microns. This tight folding occurs by assembling DNA with histones into so-called nucleosomes, thus ensuring the mechanical stability of our genome. On the flipside, this makes nucleosomes a formidable obstacle to the machines that read, copy or repair its DNA message. One of the fundamental questions in biology is to understand ...
