Many human diseases are the result of incorrect interpretation of genome sequence due to abnormalities in the structure of chromatin that packages DNA in the nucleus. Studies on chromatin remodeling proteins and non-coding RNAs have demonstrated their ability to disrupt histone-DNA contacts and reposition nucleosomes. Consequently, these complexes are critical in regulating global gene expression. Genetic experiments that elucidate the biological specificity of these proteins and non-coding RNAs, along with the abnormal outcomes associated with disease states when inappropriately expressed, will be beneficial to studies related to human health.
