主 题:involvement functional insight
摘 要:A recently published study in Nature provides compelling evidence for the involvement of the histone H3K4me3 modification in regulating RNA polymerase II(Pol II)pause-release and elongation.1 The expansion of the functional repertoire of this active chromatin mark and the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms behind it represents a major advance for the field,not least because the epigenetic factors involved are linked to a wide range of human *** term epigenetics derives from the Greek prefix“epiand describes an inheritable regulatory state that manifests itself beyond the mere genetic information encoded in the DNA.
