Molecular biology: Genome under surveillance
Karen M. Arndt1
Abstract
Decoding the information stored in DNA requires an intricate balance between processes that turn gene expression on or off. A protein that influences the packaging of DNA regulates this balance genome-wide.
Organisms store instructions for their own existence in DNA. Specific proteins access and read the DNA sequence either to replicate it or to mediate gene expression.
