Genetic modifiers of chromatin acetylation antagonize the reprogramming of epi-polymorphisms.
Natural populations are known to differ not only in DNA but also in their chromatin-associated epigenetic marks. When such inter-individual epigenomic differences (or "epi-polymorphisms") are observed, their stability is usually not known: they may or ...
