Genome-wide study of HDACs and transcription in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
(2010-05-27)
The eukaryotic genome has to be organized to fit into the cell and this is achieved by packing of DNA into chromatin. The basic repeating structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, which consists of DNA wrapped around ...
A longitudinal study of dentofacial morphology in young children treated for the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
(2008-09-19)
