TERMINAL FLOWER 2/LIKE HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN 1 (TFL2/LHP1) is the only Arabidopsis protein with overall sequence similarity to the HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN 1 (HP1) family of metazoans and S. pombe. T
Earlier studies had suggested that epigenetic mechanisms play an important role in the control of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. Here we show that productive HCMV infection is indeed under th
Chromatin serves to organize and compact the genome but also functions as a signaling hub for the dynamic regulation of transcriptional programs that control cell type specification. The historical di
Drosophila GCN5 activity profoundly impacts gene expression. Overall design: We conducted poly-A selected RNA-Seq experiments and explored the dynamics of gene expression during aging process (using h
Acetylation of nucleosomal histones by diverse histone acetyltransferases (HAT) plays pivotal roles in many cellular events. Discoveries of novel HATs and HAT related factors have provided new insight
