<h4>Rationale</h4>Epigenetic marks are crucial for organogenesis, but their role in heart development is poorly understood. Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) trimethylates histone H3 at lysine 27, which establishes H3K27me3 repressive epigenetic marks that promote tissue-specific differentiation by silencing ectopic gene programs.<h4>Objective</h4>We studied the function of PRC2 in murine heart development using a tissue-restricted conditional inactivation strategy.<h4>Methods and results</h4 ...[more]
