Chromatin Assembly Factor 1 is required for normal structure and function of facultative heterochromatin in Neurospora crassa

Eduardo V. Torres, Rochelle E. Yap, Aileen R. Ferraro…·Zachary Lewis

This study shows that CAF-1 is necessary for proper structure and function of facultative heterochromatin in Neurospora crassa, working with PRC2 to silence transcription.
