Shining Light on the Dark Side of the Genome
Heterochromatin has historically been considered the dark side of the genome. In part, this reputation derives from its concentration near centromeres and telomeres, regions of the genome repressive to nuclear functions such as DNA replication and transcription. The repetitive nature of heterochroma...
