Rewriting the epigenome
Cell
(2012)
Abstract
The eukaryotic genome is packaged into a highly ordered chromatin structure, with specific domains regulating the transcription patterns of local genes. Hathaway et al. now present a breakthrough technique in the artificial induction of chromatin marks and use this experimental model to test the properties of an induced heterochromatic domain.
