It has been reported that silencing at individual units within tandem heterochromatin repeats exhibits a position‐dependent variation. However, how the heterochromatin is organized at an individual repeat level remains poorly understood. Using a novel genetic approach, our recent study identified a conserved protein Rex1BD required for position‐depende…Read more

  • Articles phenomenological "correlation innate" topics as the starting point, with the "pure phenomenon" implies the concept of phenomenological ambiguity beginning with the inspection of premises and the nature of the phenomenological reduction-oriented discussion. Discussions were focused on specific on the "relevance innate" topic and see that the concept of constructive interpretation, to take, to reveal the concept of phenomenological reduction and the intrinsic correlation structure, highli…Read more
