Abstract excerpt
Variation in the composition of chromatin has been proposed to generate a 'histone code' that epigenetically regulates gene expression in a variety of eukaryotic systems. As a result of the process of X chromosome inactivation, chromatinon the mammalian inactive X chromosome (Xi) is marked by several modifications, including histone hypoacetylation, trimethylation of lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3TrimK9) and...
