In molecular biology, SWI/SNF (SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable), [1] [2] is a subfamily of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes, which is found in eukaryotes. In other words, it is a group of proteins that associate to remodel the way DNA is packaged.
Since the original observation of SMARCB1 mutations in rhabdoid tumors, several more subunits of the human SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex have been found mutated in a wide range of neoplasms. [26] The SWI/SNF ATPase BRG1 (or SMARCA4) is the most frequently mutated chromatin remodeling ATPase in cancer. [27]
There are four subfamilies of chromatin remodelers: SWI/SNF, INO80, ISW1, and CHD. [2] The RSC complex is a 15-subunit chromatin remodeling complex initially found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and is homologous to the SWI/SNF complex found in humans. [1] The RSC complex has ATPase activity in the presence of DNA. [1]
Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), originally called BOLD venographic imaging, is an MRI sequence that is exquisitely sensitive to venous blood, hemorrhage and iron storage. SWI uses a fully flow compensated, long echo, gradient recalled echo (GRE) pulse sequence to acquire images.
Gene encoding for ARID1A is the most frequently mutated SWI/SNF subunit across cancers. [9] This gene has been commonly found mutated in different cancers leading to loss of function, including gastric cancers, [10] colon cancer, [11] ovarian clear cell carcinoma, [12] liver cancer, [13] lymphoma [14] and pancreatic cancer. [15]
However, the chromatin remodeling activities of ISWI and SWI/SNF are distinct and mediate the binding of non-overlapping sets of DNA transcription factors. [ 3 ] The protein ISW1 is the first ATPase subunit which has been isolated in the ISWI chromatin remodeling family in the fruit fly Drosophila .

Saccharomyces cerevisiae was the first eukaryotic organism to have its complete genome sequence determined.. This list of "sequenced" eukaryotic genomes contains all the eukaryotes known to have publicly available complete nuclear and organelle genome sequences that have been sequenced, assembled, annotated and published; draft genomes are not included, nor are organelle-only sequences.
