We have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We're asking our colleagues from labs in the US other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.

Excited to finally share something we've been working on for a while now: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

RNA Polymerase II coordinates histone deacetylation at active promoters

Nucleosomes at actively transcribed promoters have specific histone post-transcriptional modifications and histone variants. These features are thought to contribute to the formation and maintenance...
