Effects of connectivity hyperalignment (CHA) on estimated brain network properties: from coarse-scale to fine-scale

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Lindquist | Authors: Farzad V. Farahani, Mary Beth Nebel, Tor Wager and Martin A. Lindquist | Summary: Recent gains in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have been driven by increasingly sophisticated statistical and computational techniques and the ability to capture brain data at finer spatial and temporal resolution. These advances allow […]

HMGB1 restores a dynamic chromatin environment in the presence of linker histone by deforming nucleosomal DNA

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Hayden S Saunders, Un Seng Chio, Camille M Moore, Vijay Ramani, Yifan Cheng and Geeta Narlikar | Summary: Summary: The essential architectural protein HMGB1 increases accessibility of nucleosomal DNA and counteracts the effects of linker histone H1. However, HMGB1 is less abundant than H1 and binds nucleosomes more weakly […]
