This field includes but is not limited to the study of DNA-protein-RNA interactions, chromatin packing properties at different scales, regulation of gene expression and protein trafficking in the cell nucleus, binding site search in the crowded chromatin environment and modulation of physical interactions by covalent chemical modifications of the binding partners. The current special issue does not pretend for the full coverage of the field, but it rather aims to capture its development and provide a snapshot of the most recent concepts and approaches. Eighteen open-access articles comprising this issue provide a delicate balance between current theoretical and experimental biophysical approaches to uncover chromatin structure and understand epigenetic regulation, allowing free flow of new ideas and preliminary results.}, language = {en} } @article{HilkerSchwachtjeBaieretal.2016, author = {Hilker, Monika and Schwachtje, Jens and Baier, Margarete and Balazadeh, Salma and B{\"a}urle, Isabel and Geiselhardt, Sven and Hincha, Dirk K. and Kunze, Reinhard and Mueller-Roeber, Bernd and Rillig, Matthias G. and Rolff, Jens and Schm{\"u}lling, Thomas and Steppuhn, Anke and van Dongen, Joost and Whitcomb, Sarah J. and Wurst, Susanne and Zuther, Ellen and Kopka, Joachim}, title = {Priming and memory of stress responses in organisms lacking a nervous system}, series = {Biological reviews}, volume = {91}, journal = {Biological reviews}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {1464-7931}, doi = {10.1111/brv.12215}, pages = {1118 -- 1133}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @misc{LiTsuprykovYangetal.2016, author = {Li, Jian and Tsuprykov, Oleg and Yang, Xiaoping and Hocher, Berthold}, title = {Paternal programming of offspring cardiometabolic diseases in later life}, series = {Journal of hypertension}, volume = {34}, journal = {Journal of hypertension}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0263-6352}, doi = {10.1097/HJH.0000000000001051}, pages = {2111 -- 2126}, year = {2016}, language = {en} }
