title: Twists and turns of the nucleosome: tails without ends.
abstract: The high-resolution structure of a nucleosome core particle gives us our first detailed look at the primary level of eukaryotic DNA organization. The structure reveals the nature of histone-DNA contacts and provides some surprises regarding the histone tails and their possible involvement in higher levels of chromatin organization.
