Abstract: The article discusses research done on the effectiveness of polycomb repressive complexes in histone acetylation and the maintenance of chromatin compaction. Polycomb complexes and proteins have the capability to compact nucleosome arrays in vitro. The researchers discussed the association between polycomb complexes and histone deacetylation.
