Epigenetic control of human HOX clusters

2004-01-01

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila, Polycomb group (PcG) and trithorax group (trxG) genes are part of a cell memory system that prevents changes in cell identity by maintaining transcription patterns starting from the developing embryo throughout adult stages. PcG and trxG control epigenetically repressed and active transcriptional states of Hox genes and developmentally regulated genes. Both PcGs and trxGs exert their functions by bi...
