Project description:Genome wide map of heterochromatin state in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe via 4 different strains Examination of a single histone modification in 4 different fission yeast strains
Project description:Here, we report the high-throughput profiling of histone modification (H3K9me2) in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We generated genome-wide H3K9me2 maps of fission yeast mutants in swo1-26 (temperature sensitive, ts) cells at 25℃ and 37℃. We find that H3K9me2 enrichment at heterochromatin regions, especially at the mating-type locus and subtelomeres, is compromised, suggesting heterochromatin assembly defects.
