Researchers solve a protein complex's molecular structure to explain its role in gene silencing
A cell's genome maintains its integrity by organizing some of its regions into a super-compressed form of DNA called heterochromatin. In the comparatively simple organism fission yeast, a cellular phenomenon known as RNA ...
