Deskripsi
Histone H3K9 methylation (H3K9me) states define repressed chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Here the authors reveal complete loss of all H3K9me in mammalian cells through successive deletion of H3K9 methyltransferase genes that results in the dissolution of heterochromatin and the derepression of nearly all repeat families.
