Transcription in chromatin

Transcription in chromatin
DNA (white ribbon) is wrapped around a histone protein core (yellow discs) in chromatin. Transcription occurs when an activator binds a specific region of DNA and recruits transcription factors (TAFs, TBP, and others) and protein complexes (SWI/SNF and others) that modify histones or remodel chromatin.
