How 'master regulators' of cells make DNA accessible for gene expression
New insight into proteins called “pioneer factors” helps to explain their unusual ability to open up the typically dense genetic material within our cells. This behavior makes the genetic material accessible for proteins involved in important cellular processes, such as DNA replication and repair, gene expression, and the creation of proteins.
