This study shows BAF chromatin remodeling complexes inhibit HSV-1 immediate-early and early transcription but not late transcription or DNA replication during lytic infection.

This study identifies H2A.B as a histone variant enriched in dynamically chromatinized HSV-1 lytic chromatin, suggesting its role in promoting transcriptional activity.

The paper uses a phased genome of the Fairchild mandarin to analyze how haplotype-specific chromatin states influence allele-specific gene expression.
