Two recent studies have exploited Arabidopsis mutants and chromatin immunoprecipitation to reveal the complexity of the interaction between histone H3 methyl K9 and cytosine methylation, two epigenetic marks that characterize silent chromatin.
最近的两项研究利用拟南芥突变体和染色质免疫沉淀技术,揭示了组蛋白H3甲基化赖氨酸9(H3K9)与胞嘧啶甲基化之间相互作用的复杂性,这两种表观遗传标记是沉默染色质的特征。
