Clock protein controls daily cycle of gene expression by regulating chromosome loops

Clock protein controls daily cycle of gene expression by regulating chromosome loops It's well known that the human body functions on a 24-hour schedule. The up-and-down daily cycles of a long-studied clock protein called Rev-erb coordinates the ebb and flow of gene expression by tightening and loosening loops in chromosomes, according to new research. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
