TLDR
The data suggest that OR silencing takes place before OR expression, indicating that it is not the product of an OR-elicited feedback signal, and suggests that chromatin-mediated silencing lays a molecular foundation upon which singular and stochastic selection for gene expression can be applied.

Parental olfactory experience influences behavior and neural structure in subsequent generations

TL;DR: Using olfactory molecular specificity, the inheritance of parental traumatic exposure is examined and a framework for addressing how environmental information may be inherited transgenerationally at behavioral, neuroanatomical and epigenetic levels is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic regulation of transcriptional states by chromatin and transcription factors

TL;DR: This Review discusses emerging concepts regarding the function of regulatory elements in living cells and the involvement of these dynamic and stochastic processes in the evolution of fluctuating transcriptional activity states that are now commonly reported in eukaryotic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics and Memory of Heterochromatin in Living Cells

TL;DR: A chromatin in vivo assay (CiA) system employing chemically induced proximity to initiate and terminate chromatin modifications in living cells and quantitative modeling of reaction kinetics revealed that dynamic competition between histone marking and turnover, determines the boundaries and stability of H3K9me3 domains.

Ultrafast and memory-efficient alignment of short DNA sequences to the human genome

TL;DR: Bowtie extends previous Burrows-Wheeler techniques with a novel quality-aware backtracking algorithm that permits mismatches and can be used simultaneously to achieve even greater alignment speeds.

Mapping and quantifying mammalian transcriptomes by RNA-Seq.

TL;DR: Although >90% of uniquely mapped reads fell within known exons, the remaining data suggest new and revised gene models, including changed or additional promoters, exons and 3′ untranscribed regions, as well as new candidate microRNA precursors.

High-resolution profiling of histone methylations in the human genome.

TL;DR: High-resolution maps for the genome-wide distribution of 20 histone lysine and arginine methylations as well as histone variant H2A.Z, RNA polymerase II, and the insulator binding protein CTCF across the human genome using the Solexa 1G sequencing technology are generated.

A novel multigene family may encode odorant receptors: A molecular basis for odor recognition

TL;DR: This work has cloned and characterized 18 different members of an extremely large multigene family that encodes seven transmembrane domain proteins whose expression is restricted to the olfactory epithelium and is likely to encode a diverse family of odorant receptors.

A Chromatin Landmark and Transcription Initiation at Most Promoters in Human Cells

TL;DR: The results of a genome-wide analysis of human cells suggest that most protein-coding genes, including most genes thought to be transcriptionally inactive, experience transcription initiation, and that transcription initiation at most genes is a general phenomenon in human cells.
