[HTML][HTML] Chromatin organization in early land plants reveals an ancestral association between H3K27me3, transposons, and constitutive heterochromatin
Genome packaging by nucleosomes is a hallmark of eukaryotes. Histones and the pathways
that deposit, remove, and read histone modifications are deeply conserved. Yet, we lack …
