A glitch in the snitch: the role of linker histone H1 in shaping the epigenome in normal and diseased cells
Histone H1s or the linker histones are a family of dynamic chromatin compacting proteins that are essential for higher-order chromatin organization. These highly positively charged proteins were previously thought to function solely as repressors of transcription. However, over the last decade, ther...
