Porcupine or Doppelgänger? DNA Unravels a Forest Impostor

You’d think that porcupines climbing trees would be visible and therefore well-studied. Roughly the size of housecats with ...

Fragile nucleosomes are essential for RNA Polymerase II to transcribe in eukaryotes

Nucleosomes are barriers to RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcribing along gene bodies in eukaryotes. We found that a fragile “tailless nucleosome” could be generated to resolve the Pol II pausing ...
