Roles and regulation of histone methylation in animal development
Histone methylation can occur at various sites in histone proteins, primarily on lysine and
arginine residues, and it can be governed by multiple positive and negative regulators, even …

Direct promoter repression by BCL11A controls the fetal to adult hemoglobin switch
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF, α 2 γ 2) level is genetically controlled and modifies severity of adult

Genome-wide analyses reveal a role of Polycomb in promoting hypomethylation of DNA methylation valleys
Background Previous studies showed that the majority of developmental genes are devoid
of DNA methylation at promoters even when they are repressed. Such hypomethylated …

Nuclear peripheral chromatin-lamin B1 interaction is required for global integrity of chromatin architecture and dynamics in human cells
The eukaryotic genome is folded into higher-order conformation accompanied with
constrained dynamics for coordinated genome functions. However, the molecular machinery …
