Mouse Gene Set: GOBP_FACULTATIVE_HETEROCHROMATIN_FORMATION

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

Standard name GOBP_FACULTATIVE_HETEROCHROMATIN_FORMATION
Systematic name MM10524
Brief description The compaction of chromatin into a conformation that is refractory to transcription but that can be converted to euchromatin and allow transcription in specific contexts. These can be temporal (e.g., developmental states or specific cell-cycle stages), spatial (e.g., nuclear localization changes from the center to the periphery or vice versa due to exogenous factors/signals), or parental/heritable (e.g., monoallelic gene expression). In metazoa, this involves the methylation of histone H3K27. [PMID:17936700]
