Sentences with word «euchromatic»

To examine the chromatin structure of rice centromere 8, Nagaki et al. [6] used ChIP - PCR with antibodies against two different covalent modifications of the canonical H3 histone protein (rather than the centromere - specific CenH3): dimethylation on lysine 9 (dimethyl - K9), which has been shown to be enriched in heterochromatic regions, and dimethyl - K4, which is present in euchromatic portions of the chromosome.

Tachibana, M.; Sugimoto, K.; Nozaki, M.; Ueda, J.; Ohta, T.; Ohki, M.; Fukuda, M.; Takeda, N.; Niida, H.; Kato, H.; Shinkai, Y. G9a histone methyltransferase plays a dominant role in euchromatic histone H3 lysine 9 methylation and is essential for early embryogenesis.

We have determined the nucleotide sequence of nearly all of the ∼ 120 - megabase euchromatic portion of theDrosophila genome using a whole - genome shotgun sequencing strategy supported by extensive clone - based sequence and a high - quality bacterial artificial chromosome physical map.

The technique also allowed Eichler and his colleagues to map some of the more than 160 segments of the genome, called euchromatic gaps, that have defied previous sequencing attempts.

The detailed analysis of these regions - genomic sequence, transcript map, expression data, and mutational analysis - should provide a detailed view of the genomic organization of typical euchromatic regions.

McGarvey, K. M.; Fahrner, J. A.; Greene, E.; Martens, J.; Jenuwein, T.; Baylin, S. B. Silenced tumor suppressor genes reactivated by DNA demethylation do not return to a fully euchromatic chromatin state.

In addition to 26.5 Mb of completed genome sequence, the BDGP is producing a BAC - based genome physical map and defining a tiling path of overlapping BAC and P1 clones spanning the euchromatic portion of the genome.
