Development of a cell assay to study polycomb group genes
Silencing is a form of transcriptional repression in which specialized structures of DNA or chromatin are inherited epigenetically. In Drosophila, the Polycomb group (PcG) genes are the best model system for studying silencing. Mutations in PcG genes cause posterior transformation in embryos and...
