Functional Analyses of Histone Methyltransferases in Sea Lamprey Embryos Undergoing Programmed DNA Elimination

Kaan Ihsan Eskut, Claire Scott, Cody Saraceno…·Jeramiah J. Smith

The paper investigates the role of histone methyltransferases in DNA elimination during sea lamprey embryogenesis, finding they contribute to repressive histone mark deposition but are not essential for the elimination process itself.
