DNA methylation is one of the best-characterized epigenetic modifications and has been
implicated in numerous biological processes, including transposable element silencing …

Epigenetic marking systems confer stability of gene expression during mammalian
development. Genome-wide epigenetic reprogramming occurs at stages when …

Enhancer of Zeste is a Polycomb Group protein essential for the establishment and
maintenance of repression of homeotic and other genes. In the early embryo it is found in a …

Histone methylation regulates chromatin structure, transcription, and epigenetic state of the
cell. Histone methylation is dynamically regulated by histone methylases and demethylases …

Epigenetic modifications serve as an extension of the information content by which the
underlying genetic code may be interpreted. These modifications mark genomic regions and …

Abstract Histone H3 lysine 9 (H3-K9) methylation has been shown to correlate with
transcriptional repression and serve as a specific binding site for heterochromatin protein 1 …

On fertilisation, gametes undergo epigenetic reorganisation and re-establish totipotency.
Here, we investigate links between chromatin remodelling and asymmetric maintenance of …

Epigenetic processes are the main conductors of phenotypic variation in eukaryotes. The
malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs antigenic variation of the major surface …

During gametogenesis and pre-implantation development, the mammalian epigenome is
reprogrammed to establish pluripotency in the epiblast. Here we show that the histone 3 …

The Arabidopsis KRYPTONITE gene encodes a member of the Su (var) 3-9 family of histone
methyltransferases. Mutations of kryptonite cause a reduction of methylated histone H3 …
