DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4939-8663-7_15
Abstract: Histones wrap DNA to form nucleosomes that package eukaryotic genomes. Histone variants have evolved for diverse functions including gene expression, DNA repair, epigenetic silencing, and chromosome segregation. With the rapid increase of newly sequenced genomes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-981-13-8958-0_6
Abstract: In eukaryotes, chromosomal DNA is packaged around histone proteins into tightly coiled structures, called nucleosomes, which then form further repeating condensed elements. This fundamental repeating unit, chromatin, ensures that the large eukaryotic genome can pack… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkaa121
Abstract: Abstract Linker histones are epigenetic regulators that bind to nucleosomes and alter chromatin structures and dynamics. Biophysical studies have revealed two binding modes in the linker histone/nucleosome complex, the chromatosome, where the linker histone is… read more here.
