GENOMIC LOCATION OF PRMT6-DEPENDENT H3R2 METHYLATION IS LINKED TO THE TRANSCRIPTIONAL OUTCOME OF ASSOCIATED GENES

Genomic Location of PRMT6-Dependent H3R2 Methylation Is Linked to the Transcriptional Outcome of Associated Genes

Summary: Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) catalyzes asymmetric dimethylation of histone H3 at arginine 2 (H3R2me2a).This mark has been reported to associate with silent genes.Here, we use a cell model of neural differentiation, which upon PRMT6 knockout exhibits proliferation and differentiation defects.Strikingly, we detect PRMT6-depen

Sherd Shatter Patterns Experiment

In field archaeology, the importance of non-diagnostic sherds is often overlooked.This archaeological experiment suggests that archaeologists should take into greater consideration, contexts where sherds are found grouped together in close proximity.The authors tested a series of experimental drops of modern pots which were treated as substitutions
