Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic organisms organize their genetic material in chromatin rather than naked DNA. Efficient chromatin assembly is essential for all DNA-templated processes, including replication, transcription, and DNA repair. Our research focused on two major histone H3 deposition complexes: Chromatin Assembly Factor (CAF-1) and Histone Regulator A (HIRA). CAF-1 deposits canonical H3 on naked DNA immediately after...
