Article

Of giraffes' necks and the inheritance of chromatin states.

Nature genetics - 26 May 2017

Pirrotta Vincenzo

Abstract excerpt

New work reports that both derepressed and hyper-repressed chromatin states in animals can be transmitted to progeny for many generations. Transmission depends on genomic architecture and histone modifications.
