Abstract excerpt
How histone modifications affect animal development remains difficult to ascertain. Despite the prevalence of histone 3 lysine 4 monomethylation (H3K4me1) on enhancers, hypomethylation appears to have minor effects on phenotype and viability. Here, we genetically reduce H3K4me1 deposition in Drosophila melanogaster and find that hypomethylation reduces transcription factor enrichment in nuclear microenvironments,...
