Abstract

Histone proteins are a primary component of chromatin; therefore, any modifications to their structure are anticipated to affect the behavior of our genetic material, which is manifested in the form of phenotypic changes at amolecular, cellular or organic level. The majority of histone modifications are of either methylation or acetylation type that regulate gene expression. Though, not all of these modifications are concerned with the direct regulation of gene transcription. Throughout its 13-year run, Epigenomics has never ceased to cover these most gripping epigenetic stories, a significant proportion of which is in the matter of histones and their modifications. As such, the current perspective piece is intended to highlight original histone-oriented contributions published in Epigenomics since 2020.
