Abstract excerpt
Discovering how histone variants that mark distinct chromatin regions affect a developmental program is a major challenge in the epigenetics field. To assess the importance of the H3.3 histone variant and its dedicated histone chaperone HIRA, we used an established developmental model, Xenopus laevis. After the early rapid divisions exploiting a large maternal pool of both replicative H3.2 and replacement H3.3,...
