The fungus <it>Neurospora crassa </it>displays telomeric silencing mediated by multiple sirtuins and by methylation of histone H3 lysine 9
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Silencing of genes inserted near telomeres provides a model to investigate the function of heterochromatin. We initiated a study of telomeric silencing in <it>Neurospora crassa</it>, a fungus that sports DNA methylation,...
