The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

H2AX is required for chromatin remodeling and inactivation of sex chromosomes in male mouse meiosis. (2003, background): “This is consistent with the requirement for H2AX to be availDNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) (Redon et al., 2002).”
Structural and Functional Conservation of the NuA4 Histone Acetyltransferase Complex from Yeast to Humans (2004, methodology): “for nucleosomal HAT activity, full-length Tip60, Tip60b, ING3, ING3(1-300),”
Topoisomerase I inhibitors: camptothecins and beyond (2006, neutral): “At the chromatin level, the H2AX histone variant, which represents 10–20% of histone H2”
Controlling the double helix (2003, background): “Third, histone variants may replace one or more of the core histone”
Genome-wide dynamics of Htz1, a histone H2A variant that poises repressed/basal promoters for activation through histone loss. (2005, neutral): “Studies in flies present a complex picture; the fly ortholog, termed H2AνD, appears to be a hybrid of two mammalian H2A variants ( Redon et al., 2002 ).”
