description:
Research in epigenetics is growing at an increasing speed, with the introduction of novel technologies that allow the interrogation of the epigenome with unprecedented precision. We aim to discuss the latest research regarding two key aspects of the chromatin: a) histone posttranslational modifications, and proteomic approaches for their study; b) basic mechanisms of chromatin regulation in gene expression, with an emphasis on the role of the Polycomb complex(es).
