Domain Model Explains Propagation Dynamics and Stability of Histone H3K27 and H3K36 Methylation Landscapes [PDF]
, 2020 Chromatin states must be maintained during cell proliferation to uphold cellular identity and genome integrity. Inheritance of histone modifications is central in this process. However, the histone modification landscape is challenged by incorporation of

Histone ubiquitination and deubiquitination in transcription, DNA damage response, and cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2012 Histone post-transcriptional modifications play essential roles in regulation of all DNA related processes. Among them, histone ubiquitination has been discovered for more than three decades.

Crosstalk among Histone Modifications [PDF]
Cell, 2008 Histone modifications play a complex role in the regulation of transcription. Recent studies (Duncan et al., 2008; Lee et al., 2007; Li et al., 2008) reveal that regulation of histone modifications can be functionally linked to reinforce the activation or repression of gene expression.

Hi–C interaction graph analysis reveals the impact of histone modifications in chromatin shape
Applied Network Science, 2021 Chromosome conformation capture experiments such as Hi–C map the three-dimensional spatial organization of genomes in a genome-wide scale. Even though Hi–C interactions are not biased towards any of the histone modifications, previous analysis has ...

Using genomic annotations increases statistical power to detect eGenes. [PDF]
, 2016 MotivationExpression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) are genetic variants that affect gene expression. In eQTL studies, one important task is to find eGenes or genes whose expressions are associated with at least one eQTL. The standard statistical method

Classification of Promoters Based on the Combination of Core Promoter Elements Exhibits Different Histone Modification Patterns. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Four different histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4; two subunits each) constitute a histone octamer, around which DNA wraps to form histone-DNA complexes called nucleosomes.
