Transcription factors can prefer one orientation over others when binding to nucleosomal DNA.

Reading the DNA book without opening it

The Taipale Group and their collaborators have published a paper in Nature that identifies five mechanisms by which proteins can read genetic information from the tightly packaged form of DNA found inside human cells.
