Abstract
Research on the interplay between chromatin and transcription has prog ressed along three lines during the past year. Evidence has been repor ted for disruption of nucleosomes by transcriptional regulatory protei ns in cell-free systems; displacement of the histone octamer during tr anscription has been conclusively demonstrated; and insights into tran scriptional repression by heterochromatin have been gained from studie s of silent mating loci and telomeres in yeast.
