Abstract excerpt
Development and differentiation are associated with profound changes to histone modifications, yet their in vivo function remains incompletely understood. Here, we generated mouse models expressing inducible histone H3 lysine-to-methionine (K-to-M) mutants, which globally inhibit methylation at specific sites. Mice expressing H3K36M developed severe anaemia with arrested erythropoiesis, a marked haematopoietic...
