Phenotypic Pliancy and the Breakdown of Epigenetic Polycomb Mechanisms
2022-01-20
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic regulatory mechanisms allow multicellular organisms to develop distinct specialized cell identities despite having the same total genome. Cell-fate choices are based on gene expression programs and environmental cues that cells experience during embryonic development, and are usually maintained throughout the life of the organism despite new environmental cues. The evolutionarily conserved Polycomb grou...
