Mouse Gene Set: GOBP_CONSTITUTIVE_HETEROCHROMATIN_FORMATION

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOBP_CONSTITUTIVE_HETEROCHROMATIN_FORMATION

Standard name GOBP_CONSTITUTIVE_HETEROCHROMATIN_FORMATION
Systematic name MM10525
Brief description The compaction of chromatin into heterochromatin, a conformation that is refractory to transcription. Constitutive heterochromatin cannot be converted back to euchromatin, the transcriptionally-active conformation. In metazoa, this involves the methylation of histone H3K9. [PMID:17936700]
