Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila the Polycomb group (Pc-G) proteins are responsible for the stable and heritable silencing of genes. The Pc-G apparently uses heterochromatin-like mechanisms to transcriptionally inactivate developmental regulators such as the homeotic genes. The Polycomb (Pc) protein is part of a la...
