  2. 1. DNA Tetraplexes and Nucleosome Positioning Sequences

    Author : Tomas Simonsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nucleosome; myc; gene expression; oncogene; DNA tetraplex;

    Abstract : All eukaryotic organisms package their genomes into a nucleoprotein complex known as chromatin, whose major constituents are the DNA and proteins known as histones. The non-covalent association of histones with DNA results in considerable compaction and allows the organisation of the genome into the cell nucleus. READ MORE

  4. 2. Chromatin Structure: Nucleosome Formation and Positioning

    Author : Hans R. Widlund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; centromere; formation; chromatin; nucleosome; telomere;

    Abstract : In all eukaryotic cells the DNA is complexed with a group of highly basic histone proteins forming nucleosomes and higher order chromatin structures. In the nucleosome the DNA is tightly wrapped, almost two turns, around an octamer of histone proteins. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nucleosome positioning : impact on transcription factors access

    Author : Qiao Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : glucocorticoid receptor; transcription factor; gene regulation; nucleosome; nucleosome positioning; DNA-bending sequence;

    Abstract : In the eukaryotic cell nucleus, DNA is organized into nucleosomes. Some of the regulatory regions are integrated into sequence-specifically positioned nucleosomes. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Functional Significance and Chromatin Organisation of the Imprinting Control Regions of the H19 and Kcnq1 Genes

    Author : Meena Kanduri; Rolf Ohlsson; Karl Ekwall; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular genetics; DNA methylation; Imprinting control region; Chromatin; Insulator; Nucleosome positioning; Genetik; Genetics; Genetik;

    Abstract : Genomic imprinting is a phenomenon through which a subset of genes are epigenetically marked during gemtogenisis. This mark is maintained in the soma to often manifest parent of origin-specific monoalleleic expresson patterns. READ MORE

  7. 5. Decoding the Structural Layer of Transcriptional Regulation : Computational Analyses of Chromatin and Chromosomal Aberrations

    Author : Robin Andersson; Jan Komorowski; Jan Dumanski; Claes Wadelius; Anders Krogh; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chromatin; Nucleosome positioning; Histone modifications; Chromosomal aberrations; Transcriptional regulation; Array-CGH; Next generation sequencing; ChIP-chip; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

    Abstract : Gene activity is regulated at two separate layers. Through structural and chemical properties of DNA – the primary layer of encoding – local signatures may enable, or disable, the binding of proteins or complexes of them with regulatory potential to the DNA. READ MORE
