| Comments |
"Because the 237-bp nucleosome repeat length is typical of sea
urchin sperm (primary source), [researchers] investigated whether reconstitution with
the sea urchin specific linker histone H1, which is larger than the
H5 used here, would affect the dimensions of the resulting folded
30-nm chromatin fiber." |
