These last years, a new class of proteins involved in the regulation of gene expression has been unraveled besides such classical elements as polymerases, transcription factors or enhancers, directly responsible for gene expression. This class introduces a second order level of regulation which is superimposed on that of the standard regulators and is revealed by epigenetic modifications. One end of this group is occupied by the so-called gene insulators such as CTCF that organize the action of the standard regulators and of invasive chromatin in order to limit and target their action to a specific gene or genetic entity. At the other end, one would find the proteins operating at the level o...
It is February 1942. Singapore had fallen. In the seismic shockwave that follows, John Fullwood is preparing to abandon his rubber plantation on Bougainville Island before the Japanese arrive. He is loading his boat when an unexpected visitor flies in, the Civil Administrator of Papua New Guinea, Leonard Murray. He brings bad news. The army has ordered the plantation and everything in it to be destroyed to stop it falling into enemy hands. Even worse, Murray brings information about a stricken plane flying over Losuia Village in the Trobriand Group. On board is Fullwood’s youngest daughter Maria, a nurse recently evacuated from Singapore. An intercepted radio transmission suggests Maria ha...
