Chromatin Adaptations through Interactions of Chaperones in Time (ChromADICT)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2016, Date de fin: 30 juin 2021,
A central question in chromatin biology is how to organize the genome and mark specific regions with histone variants. Understanding how to establish and maintain, but also change chromatin states is a fundamental challenge. Histone chaperones, escort factors that regulate the supply, loading, and degradation of histone variants, are key in their placement at specific chromatin landmarks and bridg ...

Exploring mechanisms of gene repression and escape during X-chromosome inactivation (XPRESS)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2015, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2020,
During mammalian development, precise gene expression patterns have to be established and then maintained, or reversed, in different cellular and tissue contexts. A striking example of such developmentally regulated gene control is X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), whereby one of the two X chromosomes in females is silenced during embryogenesis. XCI is initiated by the non-coding Xist RNA, which co ...
