Loss of H3K9me3 maintenance in human neural progenitor cells leads to transcriptional activation of L1 retrotransposons
Heterochromatin is characterised by an inaccessibility to the transcriptional machinery and associated with the histone mark H3K9me3. Heterochromatin erosion is a hallmark of human ageing and H3K9me3 ...
