Abstract excerpt
Polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and 2) are required for heritable repression of developmental genes. The cis- and trans-acting factors that contribute to epigenetic inheritance of mammalian Polycomb repression are not fully understood. Here, we show that, in human cells, ectopically induced Polycomb silencing at initially active developmental genes, but not near ubiquitously expressed housekeeping...
