Molecular landscape of modified histones in Drosophila heterochromatic genes and euchromatin-heterochromatin transition zones.
Constitutive heterochromatin is enriched in repetitive sequences and histone H3-methylated-at-lysine 9. Both components contribute to heterochromatin's ability to silence euchromatic genes. However, heterochromatin also harbors hundreds of expressed genes in organisms such as Drosophila. Recent...
