Epigenetic Inheritance of Transcriptional Silencing and Switching Competence in Fission Yeast

Epigenetic events allow the inheritance of phenotypic changes that are not caused by an alteration in DNA sequence. Here we characterize an epigenetic phenomenon occurring in the mating-type region of fission yeast. Cells of fission yeast switch between the P and M mating-type by interconverting the...
