Abstract excerpt
Differential chromatin structure is one of the hallmarks distinguishing active and inactive genes. For the X-linked human hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase gene (HPRT), this difference in chromatin structure is evident in the differential general DNase I sensitivity and hypersensitivity of the promoter regions on active versus inactive X chromosomes. Here we characterize the nucleosomal organization...
