Genome evolution in fungal plant pathogens: looking beyond the two-speed genome model (2020, positive): “Active TEs have a strong mutagenic potential, and consequently TE-rich regions are often highly condensed into heterochromatin to suppress TE activity (Grewal and Jia, 2007).”
The nucleosome remodeler DDM1 allows DNA methyltransferases to access H1-containing heterochromatin (2013, background): “Lack of access to DNA is postulated to be a core property of heterochromatin that enforces gene silencing by preventing binding of transcription factors and RNA polymerase (Grewal and Jia, 2007).”
Arabidopsis TFL2/LHP1 Specifically Associates with Genes Marked by Trimethylation of Histone H3 Lysine 27 (2007, positive): “DNA methylation and the occurrence of the H3K9me2 mark are correlated over repeated sequences in plants and animals, and both are therefore highly enriched in heterochromatin [67].”
Meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (2007, positive): “, 2005) indicate that MSUC operates at the transcriptional level, but this does not preclude the possibility that RNAi is involved, because the core RNAi machinery can silence genes at the transcriptional level (Grewal and Jia, 2007).”
Dynamic Imaging of Genomic Loci in Living Human Cells by an Optimized CRISPR/Cas System (2013, positive): “Therefore, CRISPR imaging offers a powerful tool to understand the control of heterochromatin formation (Grewal and Jia, 2007).”
The Ensembl Regulatory Build (2015, background): “In particular, it determines which regions are accessible to outside molecules [11], and which regions are in physical proximity to each other despite being distant in the genomic sequence [12].”
DNA transposons and the evolution of eukaryotic genomes. (2007, background): “Boundary or insulator elements: DNA sequences that block the spread of heterochromatin and partition the genome into distinct functional chromosomal domains other TEs) act as moving targets for local heterochromatin formation as a byproduct of their structure (TIRs) and/or simply their repetitive na”
Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance: Prevalence, Mechanisms, and Implications for the Study of Heredity and Evolution (2009, neutral): “The ability of small RNAs to move from cell to cell may facilitate soma to germline information transmission and may form the basis of such inheritance.”
