"A histone post-translational modification linked to lifelong susceptibility to stress in mice"
An excellent overview of our work on H3K27me1 in @medical_xpress.
Thanks to Lily Armstrong-Davies for the lovely Cover Art: The Weight of a Histone. I'll frame it in my office!

Check out our new publication out today! We found that the histone H2B variant, H2BE is widely expressed and functions to open chromatin at promoter regions. In neurons it controls expression of synpatic genes and promotes memory formation.

A huge congrats to @efeierman, our lead author and newly minted PhD and to the whole team. We couldn't have done this without multiple others in the lab and incredible collaborators from the labs of @Yael_David__ , @hao_wu_7, and @Fuccillomarc .
