摘要

A research team led by Professor He Xionglei at the College of Life Sciences,Sun Yat-sen (Zhongshan) University made a breakthrough in understanding how chromatin structure regulates spontaneous mutations,with a discovery that nucleosomes,the structural units of chromatin,suppress mutations from cytosine (C) to thymine (T) in eukaryotic cells.This research appears as a Report in the March 9th issue of Science.
