Spatial and temporal plasticity of chromatin during programmed DNA-reorganization in <it>Stylonychia </it>macronuclear development

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background:</p> <p>In this study we exploit the unique genome organization of ciliates to characterize the biological function of histone modification patterns and chromatin plasticity for the processing of specific DNA sequences during a nuclear diff...
