Epigenetics refers to mitotically and/or meiotically heritable variations in gene expression that are not caused by changes in DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms regulate all biological processes from conception to death, including genome reprogramming during early embryogenesis and gametogenesis, cell differentiation and maintenance of a committed lineage. Key epigenetic players are DNA methylation and histone post‐translational modifications, which interplay with each other, with regulatory…

Ch chromatin plasticity and epigenetics and the mechanisms that regulate the various chromatin states are discussed, which are currently a central theme in the studies of stem cell maintenance and differentiation, and which will no doubt assist in delineating the secrets of pluripotency and self-renewal.
Epigenetic Modulations in Activated Cells Early after HIV-1 Infection and Their Possible Functional Consequences
- BiologyPloS one

HIV-1 infection exerts epigenetic modulations in activated cells that may lead these cells to transcriptional repression with important functional consequences, and non-stimulated cells seem to increase gene transcription after HIV-1 infected cells.
Promoter-Bound p300 Complexes Facilitate Post-Mitotic Transmission of Transcriptional Memory
- BiologyPloS one

A role for p300 is described in enabling gene bookmarking by pre-initiation complexes (PICs) containing RNA polymerase II, Mediator and TBP that enable post-mitotic transmission of transcriptional memory of prior environmental stimuli.
