摘要
A research team led by Professor He Xionglei at the College of Life Sciences,Sun Yat-sen(Zhongshan) University made a breakthrough in understanding how chromatin structure regulates spontaneous mutations,with a discovery that nucleosomes,the structural units of chromatin,suppress mutations from cytosine(C) to thymine(T) in eukaryotic cells.This research appears as a Report in the March 9^(th) issue of Science. Mutations not only provide new materials for evolution,but also are the primary cause of diseases.
