Abstract excerpt
Histone posttranslational modifications control the organization and function of chromatin. In particular, methylation of lysine 36 in histone H3 (H3K36me) has been shown to mediate gene transcription, DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and pre-mRNA splicing. Notably, mutations at or near this residue have been causally linked to the development of several human cancers. These observations have helped to...
