Repressive Chromatin in Caenorhabditis elegans: Establishment, Composition, and Function.

Genetics - 1 Feb 2018

Ahringer Julie, Gasser Susan M

Abstract excerpt

Chromatin is organized and compacted in the nucleus through the association of histones and other proteins, which together control genomic activity. Two broad types of chromatin can be distinguished: euchromatin, which is generally transcriptionally active, and heterochromatin, which is repressed. Here we examine the current state of our understanding of repressed chromatin in Caenorhabditis elegans, focusing on...
