Differential effect of histone H3.3 depletion on retroviral repression in embryonic stem cells

Abstract Background Integration of retroviruses into the host genome can impair the genomic and epigenomic integrity of the cell. As a defense mechanism, epigenetic modifications on the proviral DNA repress retroviral sequences in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC). Here, we focus on the histone 3 var...
