The Role of Chromatin Structure and Histone Modifications in Gene Silencing at the Ribosomal DNA Locus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

One of the fundamental questions in science is how chromatin transitions from actively transcribed euchromatin to silent heterochromatin, and what factors affect this transition. One area of my research has focused on understanding the differences in the chromatin structure of active and silent regi...
