Independent evolutionary origin of histone H3.3-like variants of animals and Tetrahymena
All three genes encoding histone H3 proteins were cloned and sequenced from Tetrahymena thermophila. Two of these genes encode a major H3 protein identical to that of T. pyriformis and 87% identical to the major H3 of vertebrates. The third gene encodes hv2, a quantitatively minor replication independent (replacement) variant.

Comparing the Assembly and Handedness Dynamics of (H3.3-H4)2 Tetrasomes to Canonical Tetrasomes.
Eukaryotic nucleosomes consists of an (H3-H4)2 tetramer and two H2A-H2B dimers, around which 147 bp of DNA are wrapped in 1.7 left-handed helical turns.

Transposable Elements (TE) are mobile DNA elements that can replicate and insert themselves into different locations within the host genome. Their propensity to self-propagate has a myriad of consequences and yet their biological significance is not well-

Two distinct modes for propagation of histone PTMs across the cell cycle [PDF]
Epigenetic states defined by chromatin can be maintained through mitotic cell division. However, it remains unknown how histone-based information is transmitted.

Novel improvement in iPSCs generation protocols through mouse gametogenesis epigenetic erasure mechanisms [PDF]
The main goal of this review is to describe gametogenesis epigenetic erasure mechanisms and to propose candidate molecules which can erase remaining epigenetic marks that enhace re-differentiation of cultured induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into ...
