Glacial history and colonization of Europe by the blue tit Parus caeruleus

TL;DR: It is suggested that after the last Ice Ages, the blue tit subspecies have colonized Europe from two different southern refuges following previously proposed general recolonization routes from the Balkans to northern and Central Europe, and from the Iberian Peninsula north- and eastwards.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short RNAs Are Transcribed from Repressed Polycomb Target Genes and Interact with Polycomb Repressive Complex-2

TL;DR: A class of short RNAs, approximately 50-200 nucleotides in length, transcribed from the 5' end of polycomb target genes in primary T cells and embryonic stem cells are identified and it is proposed that shortRNAs play a role in the association of PRC2 with its target genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The interaction of PRC2 with RNA or chromatin is mutually antagonistic.

TL;DR: It is shown here that PRC2 binds nascent RNA at essentially all active genes, and that mutual antagonism between RNA and chromatin underlies the pattern ofPRC2 chromatin association across the genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA-binding and -bending activities of SAP30L and SAP30 are mediated by a zinc-dependent module and monophosphoinositides.

TL;DR: The results suggest that SAP30L and SAP30 play active roles in recruitment of deacetylating enzymes to nucleosomes, and mediate key protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions involved in chromatin remodeling and transcription.
