An RNA polymerase III-dependent heterochromatin barrier at fission yeast centromere 1.
Heterochromatin formation involves the nucleation and spreading of structural and epigenetic features along the chromatin fiber. Chromatin barriers and associated proteins counteract the spreading of heterochromatin, thereby restricting it to specific regions of the genome. We have performed gene ex...
