Vernalization and Epigenetic Inheritance: A Game of Histones
Abstract
Cells inherit molecular 'memories' of previously experienced conditions through epigenetic processes. Recent findings provide insights into the problem of how epigenetic states are inherited through cell division, with intriguing mechanistic links to histone variants and DNA replication.
