Cohesin and chromatin organisation.

Abstract:

:Cohesin defines the topology of chromosomes in mitosis and meiosis by holding sister chromatids together; more recently a role for cohesin in chromatin organisation and gene expression in interphase has emerged.

  • The uniqueness of the imprinting mechanism.

    abstract::An epigenetic imprinting mechanism that is based on a gamete-specific methylation imprint restricts expression of a subset of mammalian genes to one parental chromosome. Recent results suggest that imprints may act only indirectly to induce monoallelic expression of coding genes. Instead, atypical non-coding RNAs appe...
