The euchromatic and heterochromatic landscapes are shaped by antagonizing effects of transcription on H2A.Z deposition.

A role for variant histone H2A.Z in gene expression is now well established but little is known about the mechanisms by which it operates. Using a combination of ChIP-chip, knockdown and expression profiling experiments, we show that upon gene induction, human H2A.Z associates with gene promoters an...
