@article{91356, author = {Sandell and Zakian}, title = {Telomeric position effect in yeast.}, abstract = { Telomeres are the physical ends of chromosomes. In yeast, when a gene is placed near a telomere, its transcription is repressed. Genes under the influence of this telomeric position effects switch between a repressed state and a transcriptionally active state, each of which is stable for many cell generations. Telomeric position effect may provide a model system for the study of heritable gene regulation in other, more complex organisms. }, year = {1992}, journal = {Trends Cell Biol}, volume = {2}, pages = {10-4}, month = {01/1992}, issn = {0962-8924}, language = {eng}, }
