Scientists Discover Structure of Gateways to Gene Control
This artist's illustration shows a portion of the genome. A long DNA molecule (red cord) is wrapped up into nucleosome structures with a histone-protein core (white spheres). The gateway to gene transcription spans the control switch (coils) on the left nucleosome to the beginning of the gene (green arrow) on the right nucleosome." Credit: Christina Ullman
