Chromatin Remodeling Complex Interactions
Chromatin remodeling complexes serve as vital controllers of genome structure and functionality which influence gene expression and DNA repair while maintaining developmental processes. The dysfunction of chromatin remodeling complexes has been linked to multiple diseases such as cancer and disorders of the nervous system. Creative Diagnostics provides complete analysis services for chromatin remodeling complex interactions through high-throughput microarray protein chip technology. We provide services that speed up fundamental research and support new therapeutic development against these essential complexes.
