Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The application relates to the field of molecular biology, in particular to a method for detecting the ability to assemble chromatin structure at a specific site in a DNA sequence. Background technique
[0002] The nucleosome is the basic structural unit of eukaryotic chromatin. Two copies of each of the four histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 form a histone octamer, on which a DNA sequence of about 147 bp is wound in a left-handed helical manner 1.7 circles, constituting nucleosome core particles. The core particles are connected by 20-80bp DNA, which is further compressed and packaged into a 30nm chromatin secondary structure under the action of histone H1.
[0003] As a basic structural unit of eukaryotic chromatin, nucleosome and chromatin have dual functions of structure and function. The position of nucleosomes on genomic DNA and the local structure of chromatin regulate many biological processes including DNA replication, transcription, repair, rec...
