Changes in chromatin structure are one way the action of genes is controlled.

It is also involved in the maintenance of chromatin structure, the regulation of gene expression, and the stress response.

Polycomb-group proteins play a role in regulating genes through modulation of chromatin structure.

Studies of chromatin structure also promise to shed light on transcriptional regulation in melanoma cells.

However, the relationship between chromatin structure and cell types and developmental stages is an important question that remains unanswered.

His group are interested in the mechanisms which remodel and alter chromatin structure.

These recruited proteins then act to alter chromatin structure actively or to promote transcription.

Throughout her career she has made many contributions to the understanding of chromatin structure and function.

Lamin proteins are thought to be involved in nuclear stability, chromatin structure and gene expression.

This is typically achieved via changes of the chromatin structure.
