📢ACCESS DENIED!! Ever wonder how heterochromatin causes transcriptional gene silencing and is epigenetically inherited? Excited to share our new story showing that histone deacetylation, a conserved feature of heterochromatin domains from yeast to mammals, limits access to SWI/SNF chromatin remodelers to prevent unraveling of nucleosomes, which enforces gene silencing and maintains high H3K9me3 density required for epigenetic inheritance #epigenetics #heterochromatin #histones #chromatin Congratulations to @rakesh_k_sahu and other lab members! cell.com/molecular-cell…



@aaas @sudipsparikh Very grateful to have been chosen as a AAAS fellow this year. Of course these awards are only possible due to the enormous efforts of the many grad students and postdocs that I have been lucky to mentor over the years. Let’s all have a drink😁
