Histone variants in development and diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Eukaryotic genomic DNA is highly packaged into chromatin by histones to fit inside the nucleus. Other than the bulk packaging role of canonical histones with an expression peak at S phase and replication-coupled deposition, different histone variants have evolved distinct regulatory mechanisms for their expression, deposition and functional implications. The diversity of histone variants results in structural...
