Association of cohesin and Nipped-B with transcriptionally active regions of the Drosophila melanogaster genome

Z Misulovin, YB Schwartz, XY Li, TG Kahn, M Gause… - Chromosoma, 2008 - Springer
The cohesin complex is a chromosomal component required for sister chromatid cohesion
that is conserved from yeast to man. The similarly conserved Nipped-B protein is needed for …
