Longtemps considéré comme une curiosité biologique, l’élimination programmée d’ADN est en réalité un phénomène répandu, observé chez des centaines de milliers
Background The ability to deposit histone H3K27-trimethyl (me3) marks is essential for transcriptional repression by Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). This is largely attributed to Polycomb repres...
