And although histone modifications were first described as a "code" linked to "active" or "silent" chromatin states, work in my lab and others are revealing how these marks play a much more dynamic role in modulating gene function and chromosome behavior. In this presentation I will propose a model for enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms by which the JIL-1 H3S10 kinase influences chromatin structure and chromosome architectural organization, and discuss developmental and physiological consequences of JIL-1 dysfunction.en-USPostersUniversity of Minnesota DuluthBiology SeminarsSeminarsDepartment of BiologyVirtual eventsOther
