Nucleation and spreading maintain Polycomb domains every cell cycle

Summary: Gene repression by the Polycomb pathway is essential for metazoan development. Polycomb domains, characterized by trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), carry the memory of repression and hence need to be maintained to counter the dilution of parental H3K27me3 with unmodified H3...
