Principal Investigator
Craig Pikaard
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
All eukaryotes have three conventional nuclear DNA-dependent RNA polymerases, abbreviated as Pol I, Pol II and Pol III. Pol I transcribe 45S pre-rRNA, pol II transcribes mRNAs and pol III…

DNA methylation-dependent patterns of histone post-translational modification

Lead Institution
Indiana University - Bloomington
Principal Investigator
Craig Pikaard
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
In eukaryotes, chromosomal DNA does not exist as a naked molecule, but is complexed with proteins to form chromatin. As a first step in chromatin formation, 167 bp of DNA is wrapped around a histone…
