Multiple meiotic drive systems in the Drosophila melanogaster male.

abstract：:Histone chaperones, chromatin remodelers, and histone modifying complexes play a critical role in alleviating the nucleosomal barrier for DNA-dependent processes. Here, we have examined the role of two highly conserved yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) histone chaperones, facilitates chromatin transcription (FACT) and ...
