染色质的变化可能导致各种疾病。

Changes in chromatin can lead to various diseases.

科学家研究染色质以了解基因调控。

Scientists study chromatin to understand gene regulation.

染色质由DNA（deoxyribonucleic acid，脱氧核糖核酸）和蛋白质组成。

Chromatin is composed of DNA and proteins.

染色质的结构影响基因的表达方式。

The structure of chromatin affects how genes are expressed.

研究人员正在探索染色质修饰如何影响健康。

Researchers are exploring how chromatin modifications impact health.

一种染色质的高级结构。

An higher-level structure of chromatin.

这是染色质网络的网站。

This is the website of Chromatin Network.

染色质甲基化后会出现凝缩.

Methylation of chromatin causes it to condense.

操作上讲，修饰功能或者通过中断染色质接触或通过影响非组蛋白蛋白质招募到染色质上。

Operationally, modifications function either by disrupting chromatin contacts or by affecting the recruitment of nonhistone proteins to chromatin.

因此，这些区域有着独特的染色质修饰模式，并因此可能代表了不同类的染色质区域。

Therefore, these regions have a distinctive chromatin modification pattern and thus may represent a distinct class of chromatin domains.
