Gene regulation: A finger on the mark
Peter B. Becker1
Abstract
Chromatin, the protein wrapping of the genome, harbours information about how the genes it contains are to be regulated. Are we any closer to deciphering these encoded instructions?
From our everyday shopping, we are familiar with the fact that the wrapping of our groceries is decorated with information about the purchased goods. Some of this information, such as the bar code, can be accessed only with special decoding equipment.
- Peter B. Becker is at the Adolf-Butenandt-Institut, Molekularbiologie, Schillerstrasse 44, 80336 München, Germany.
