: Rather than treating transcription and translation as isolated silos, the authors use recurring themes to show how molecular phenomena impact overall genome function. Meet the Authors
Genome organization refers to the three-dimensional structure of the genome. Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins that make up the genome. Chromatin structure can influence gene expression by regulating access to transcription factors. : Rather than treating transcription and translation as
