The Role of Nucleosome Positioning in the Evolution of Gene Regulation
The Role of Nucleosome Positioning in the Evolution of Gene Regulation is a scholarly work by Aviv Regev and Oliver J Rando, published in 2010 in ''PLOS Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include nucleosome, scaffold/matrix attachment region, regulation of gene expression, genetics, ChIP on chip, chromatin, gene, chromatin remodeling, biology, RNA splicing, histone-modifying enzymes, ChIA-PET, Bivalent chromatin, ChIP-sequencing, ribosome, and computational biology. The authors found substantial conservation of global and functional chromatin organization in all species, including prominent nucleosome-free regions (NFRs) at gene promoters, and distinct chromatin architecture in growth and stress genes.
