In our cells, genes associated with alternative cell fate have to be silenced. DNA methylation and H3K27me3 on the histone are two of the most prevalent chromatin modifications that control the ...

The findings were published online in Science China Life Sciences, under the title "Distinct roles of H3K27me3 and H3K36me3 in vernalization response, maintenance, and resetting in winter wheat." ...

This is epigenetics, and a previous study by Inoue and colleagues showed that acquired tri-methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (thankfully abbreviate to H3K27me3) in mammalian egg cells can be ...

A new editorial paper titled "Targeting H3K27me3 loss in pediatric brain tumors—a perspective on epigenetically guided cancer therapy" has been published in Oncotarget. High-grade tumors of the ...
