Gene Expression Controlled by Nano Soccer Balls

To understand which set pieces lead to protein expression on the genomic soccer pitch, follow the bouncing nano soccer ball, a cluster of transcription factors that can slip between strands of DNA. In these plays, goals are scored when nano soccer balls reach gene promoter regions, switching them “on” or “off,” activating or repressing gene expression.Certain transcription factors, scientists based at the University of York have observed, do not roam the genome individual
