Structural Genomics of Histone Tail Recognition

Histone tails are subjected to various post translational modifications, which regulates gene expression and differentiation. This website highlights the structural mechanisms underlying recognition of histone tails by the readers, writers and erasers of methyl and acetyl marks.
