Epithelial cells-enriched lncRNA SNHG8 regulates chromatin condensation by binding to Histone H1s
Linker histone H1 proteins contain many variants in mammalian and can stabilize the condensed state of chromatin by binding to nucleosomes and promoting a more inaccessible structure of DNA. However, it is poo...
