Histone variant innovation in a rapidly evolving chordate lineage

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Histone variants alter the composition of nucleosomes and play crucial roles in transcription, chromosome segregation, DNA repair, and sperm compaction. Modification of metazoan histone variant lineages occurs on a background of geno...
