Histone H3 availability is more important for development than H3.2 versus H3.3 subtype identity

Jeanne-Marie E. McPherson, Claire Sykes, Lucy C. Grossmann…·D A McKay

This study shows that availability of histone H3 is more critical for development than the specific subtype (H3.2 vs H3.3) in Drosophila.

Reduced histone gene copy number disrupts Drosophila Polycomb function

Jeanne-Marie E. McPherson, Lucy C. Grossmann, Harmony R. Salzler…·Robert J. Duronio

The paper shows that reduced canonical histone gene copy number in Drosophila disrupts Polycomb function, leading to developmental defects and ectopic sex combs.
