Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Structural changes in chromatin play essential roles in regulating eukaryotic gene expression. Silencing, potent repression of transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, occurs near telomeres and at the silent mating-type loci, as well as at rDNA loci. This type of repression relates to the condensation of chromatin that occurs in the heterochromatin of multicellular organisms. Anti-silencing is a...
