Converse of object

• call: The eukaryotic solution to the compaction problem is called chromatin, a complex of DNA and structural proteins.

• form: Each chromosome is really a very long molecule of DNA wound up and coiled around special proteins to form chromatin.

• disperse: On the spreads, different states of dispersed chromatin have been revealed.

• surround: Insulators are DNA elements that defend genes from surrounding chromatin by setting the boundaries of independent chromatin domains.

Adjective modifier

• condensed: The condensed nucleus fragments into several small round balls of condensed chromatin.

• open: The existing concept - that open chromatin is an absolute requirement for gene activity - is not supported by this study.

• inactive: The chromatin diminution is the elimination of an inactive chromatin from a genome.

• active: This would in effect establish a boundary between inactive condensed chromatin and active open chromatin.

Modifies a noun

• immunoprecipitation: These experiments will be supported by kinetic analysis of endogenous transcription factor binding by performing chromatin immunoprecipitation.

• remodeling: Here, we describe a further key role for chromatin remodeling in transcriptional termination.

• remodeling: A role for chromatin remodeling in transcriptional termination by RNA polymerase II.

• insulator: Jacqueline is currently supported by the AICR to study the control of DNA methylation by a chromatin insulator.

• condensation: The study of chromatin condensation is a major focus of our apoptosis studies.

• modification: It has emerged that they can also silence certain genes by DNA methylation and chromatin modification.

Noun used with modifier

• order: Paul, A.-L. and Ferl, R.J. ( 1998 ) Higher order chromatin structures in maize and arabidopsis.

• nm: It is thought that the loops are formed by special DNA-binding proteins that are attached to specific regions of the 30 nm chromatin fiber.
