Genomewide Analysis of PRC1 and PRC2 Occupancy Identifies Two Classes of Bivalent Domains
(Public Library of Science, 2008)In embryonic stem (ES) cells, bivalent chromatin domains with overlapping repressive (H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation) and activating (H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation) histone modifications mark the promoters of more than 2,000 ... -
Rare event of histone demethylation can initiate singular gene expression of olfactory receptors
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013)In mammals, the sense of odors relies on the peculiar expression pattern of olfactory receptors (ORs). Each single neuron chooses one, and only one, from all ∼1,400 OR genes that are present in a mouse genome. In neurobiology, ...
