H3K27me3 profiling of the endosperm implies exclusion of polycomb group protein targeting by DNA methylation.
Polycomb group (PcG) proteins act as evolutionary conserved epigenetic mediators of cell identity because they repress transcriptional programs that are not required at particular developmental stages. Each tissue is likely to have a specific epigenetic profile, which acts as a blueprint for its dev...
