Characterization of spermatogenic histone variants with special emphasis on histone H2A.X and double stranded break repair

Characterization of spermatogenic histone variants with special emphasis on histone H2A.X and double stranded break repair

The fundamental subunit of chromatin, known as a nucleosome, is comprised of DNA wrapped around two H2A-H2B dimers and one H3-H4 tetramer. This structure perpetuates itself and together with linker histones (histone H1) give rise to the chromatin fibre. This causes compaction of DNA within the nucle...
