Such models, including those supplied by our collaborators, are used to identify genes involved in maintenance of genomic stability. (cmbn.no)
Thus it is possible that the new molecular detail we describe plays an important role in maintaining genomic stability in the affected human tissues,» says Simon Elsässer. (scilifelab.se)
A study led by newly recruited faculty Simon Elsässer at Karolinska Institutet / SciLifeLab shows that a specialized histone protein, one of the abundant molecules responsible for compacting our DNA in the cell nucleus, maintains genomic stability by silencing «parasitic» DNA - elements.
