1. Euchromatin participates in the active transcription of DNA to mRNA products.2. Relaxed, transcriptionally active DNA is referred to as euchromatin . 3. TERRA can also regulate telomere length by increasing euchromatin formation. 4. Evolutionary dynamics of segmental duplications from human Y-chromosomal euchromatin / heterochromatin transition regions. 5. Active transcription units are clustered in the nucleus, in discrete sites called transcription factories or euchromatin . 6. Euchromatin modifications are also common which is also consistent with the state of euchromatin found in ESCs.7. Euchromatin modifications are also common which is also consistent with the state of euchromatin found in ESCs. 8. The X chromosome is notably larger and has a more active euchromatin region than its Y chromosome counterpart. 9. However, on a larger scale, chromosomes are heterogeneous in the context of euchromatin and heterochromatin composition. 10. There are also three additional euchromatin / heterochromatin transition regions for a total of four on the Y chromosome.
