Wolfgang Fischle, PhD (Damon Runyon Fellow '02-'05) described the latest groundbreaking research on how distinct biochemical modifications to proteins called histones can control gene expression. Dr. Fischle’s paper was published in this week’s Nature. His work extends the hypothesis that regulation of gene expression is the result of a carefully orchestrated process involving multiple changes to histone proteins.
