Histone methylation

组蛋白甲基化

英文解释

Histone methylation is a key element of the eukaryotic epigenome.Histone methylation at lysine and arginine residues are key covalent histone modifications in epigenetic regulation, which constitute hallmarks of epigenetic inheritance together with DNA methylation.

中文解释

组蛋白甲基化是真核生物表观基因组的关键要素。赖氨酸和精氨酸残基的组蛋白甲基化是表观遗传调控中关键的共价组蛋白修饰，它与 DNA 甲基化一起构成表观遗传的标志。
