Histone variants and epigenetic inheritance.

Abstract excerpt

Nucleosome particles, which are composed of core histones and DNA, are the basic unit of eukaryotic chromatin. Histone modifications and histone composition determine the structure and function of the chromatin; this genome packaging, often referred to as "epigenetic information", provides additional information beyond the underlying genomic sequence. The epigenetic information must be transmitted from mother...
