EpiGenie 2010 Mid-Year Editor's Favorites: Chromatin

July 21, 2010 We're halfway through 2010, so we've decided to take a look back at some of the best epigenetics publications we've covered so far this year. Here are some of our favorite Chromatin headlines.

Histone Mods and Alternative Splicing

This publication might have popped up in the mainest of mainstream journals, but the focus is all about alternatives...splicing that is. It’s always great to see the interplay of regulatory mechanisms, in this case histone modifications affecting alternative splicing so we couldn’t resist.

Memory Formation

The idea of histone modifications impacting our memory? These were a no-brainer.

Chromatin Remodeling by CpG Islands

We read a ton about the methylation action in CpG Islands, so it’s always nice when we read evidence highlighting that there’s more to CpGs than a CH3. These two pubs capture how unmethylated CpG islands can play a pivotal role in chromatin architecture.

Nucleosome Positioning

Sure we might seperate topics like histones, chromatin, and DNA methylation into discreet areas on our site, but that’s really just to keep things tidy. The reality is that there’s a lot of interplay in epigenetic mechanisms. These two papers were picked to highlight this.
