An NF-Y-dependent switch of positive and negative histone methyl marks on CCAAT promoters.

<h4>Background</h4>Histone tails have a plethora of different post-translational modifications, which are located differently in "open" and "closed" parts of genomes. H3K4me3/H3K79me2 and H4K20me3 are among the histone marks associated with the early establishment of...
