The Other Codes on DNA: It’s not all The Other Codes on DNA: It’s not all
about codons!about codons!
Small changes in the architecture of these regulatory regions can lead to dramatic phenotypic changes.
Very inspiring work by Sean Carroll and David Kingsley.
Quantitative data demands quantitative models!

AFM Images of the NucleosomeAFM Images of the Nucleosome
This image was obtained with purified chromatin fragments from chicken erythroid, using the cryo-AFM. It is seen that all the linker DNA is resolved directly, and the lateral dimensions of the nucleosome are similar to those determined by electron microscopy, and are only slightly greater than that from crystallography. The resolution her eis generally higher than that at room temperature. This was at low salt. The orientation of the nucleosomes appears to be random. With this purification (low salt), linker histones are supposed to be retained.
