Chromatin remodeling in bovine embryos indicates species-specific regulation of genome activation.

abstract：:When two-dimensional crystals are brought into close proximity, their interaction results in reconstruction of electronic spectrum and crystal structure. Such reconstruction strongly depends on the twist angle between the crystals, which has received growing attention due to interesting electronic and optical properti...
