Invited Speaker

Chromatin, in which genetic information in a eukaryotic cell is stored, is a long polymer-like composite of DNA and proteins densely packed in the nucleus. It is now recognized that physical spacing of chromatin is critical in regulating bio-chemical and transcriptional abilities of genes, and proper functionality depends on the nonrandom organization of chromatin. Meanwhile, in a living cell,...
