High-resolution visualization of H3 variants during replication reveals their controlled recycling

Epigenetic modifications are a key contributor to cell identity, and their propagation is crucial for proper development. Here the authors use a super-resolution microscopy approach to reveal how histone variants are faithfully transmitted during genome duplication, and reveal an important role for...

Description
Summary:Epigenetic modifications are a key contributor to cell identity, and their propagation is crucial for proper development. Here the authors use a super-resolution microscopy approach to reveal how histone variants are faithfully transmitted during genome duplication, and reveal an important role for the histone chaperone ASF1 in the redistribution of parental histones.
