Funded Activity Summary

Uniting histone and transcription factor codes. This project aims to establish the general features of the “histone code”. It is well established that gene expression patterns are determined in part by the deposition, recognition and removal of post-translational modifications on the histone proteins that package eukaryotic DNA. This project proposes that this "histone code" is in fact a specific example of a transcription factor code. The project aims to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying gene regulation in plants and animals, and help to create improved strategies to optimise crop and farm animal properties and new-generation therapeutics.
