Germline chromatin
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
The DNA in eukaryotes is wrapped around a histone octamer core, together comprising the main subunit of chromatin, the nucleosome. Modifications of the nucleosomal histones in the genome correlate with the ability or inability of chromatin to form higher order structures, that in turn influence gene activity. The genome in primordial germ cells in early C. elegans germ cells carries a unique pattern of histone...
