The eutherian-specific histone H3.4 promotes germ cell development and reproductive fitness

Pavel A. Komarov, Philipp C. Bammer, Ching-Yeu Liang, Hans-Rudolf Hotz, Grigorios Fanourgakis, Sunwoo Chun, Hubertus Kohler, Tim-Oliver Buchholz, Jean-François Spetz, Antoine H.F.M. Peters

This study shows that the eutherian-specific histone H3.4 variant promotes male germ cell development and reproductive fitness through specific sequence variations.
