About The Cover

Online Cover This week features a Research Article that presents the structure of the hinge domain of the epigenetic regulator SMCHD1 and identifies amino acid residues involved in protein dimerization and function. The image shows the hinge domain structures of two SMCHD1 subunits (blue and peach) interacting with DNA (green). [Image: Jeroen Claus/Phospho Biomedical Animation]
