Outline of Final Research Achievements

In eukaryotes, genomic DNA forms chromatin, which is generally inhibitory for transcription, replication, recombination, and repair. Structural versatility and dynamics of chromatin are important to overcome such a chromatin barrier. To understand the mechanism by which the chromatin architecture negotiates the genomic DNA activities, international collaboration is very important. Therefore, the aim of this study is to create the international research network for chromatin scientist. Eventually, the international partnership created in this study markedly boosted the chromatin research.
