Theoretical analysis of Polycomb-Trithorax systems predicts that poised chromatin is bistable and not bivalent

Polycomb and Trithorax group proteins regulate silent and active gene expression states, but also allow poised states in pluripotent cells. Here the authors present a mathematical model that integrates data on Polycomb/ Trithorax biochemistry into a single coherent framework which predicts that pois...
