Abstract excerpt
The heterochromatin of the inactive X chromosome (Xi) is organized into nonoverlapping bands of trimethylated lysine-9 of histone H3 (H3K9me3) and trimethylated lysine-27 of histone H3 (H3K27me3). H3K27me3 chromatin of the Xi is further characterized by ubiquitylated H2A and H4 monomethylated at lysine-20. A detailed examination of the metaphase H3K9me3 pattern revealed that banding along the chromosome arms is...
