Abstract excerpt
Position-effect control at the silent mat2-mat3 interval and at centromeres and telomeres in fission yeast is suggested to be mediated through the assembly of heterochromatin-like structures. Therefore, trans-acting genes that affect silencing may encode either chromatin proteins, factors that modify them, or factors that affect chromatin assembly. Here, we report the identification of an essential gene, clr6...
