Writing cell memory: how Histones play a role in Epigenetic Memory

Expression of a correct set of genes at the right time is crucial for cells to maintain their cell-type specific function. Epigenetic cell memory supports maintenance of such gene expression programs, with specific chromatin states regulating which genes to express or to keep silent. Chromatin... click to read more
