Gene regulation

Genome dynamics

All organisms must regulate the expression of their genes to achieve the silencing of certain genes, and the activation of others during development and homeostasis. Disregulation of gene expression frequently has dire consequences, and can lead to pathologies such as cancer. The regulation of gene expression occurs at different levels, all of which depend on a multitude of factors. Chromatin is a primary regulator of gene expression. Physical compaction of the genome into chromatin controls accessability to the transcription machinery. Studies performed over recent years have revealed the enormous complexity involved in modifying chromatin to regulate gene expression.
