Abstract excerpt
Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are transcriptional repressors that mediate epigenetic gene silencing by chromatin modification. PcG-mediated gene repression is implicated in development, cell differentiation, stem-cell fate maintenance and cancer. However, analysis of the roles of PcG proteins in orchestrating vertebrate developmental programs in vivo has been hampered by the early embryonic lethality of several...
