Info:
The authors describe a new class of histone modification, methylation of glutamine, occurring on yeast histone H2A. The data suggests that this is the first histone epigenetic mark dedicated to a specific RNA polymerase. Pippin Prep was used to size select ChIP seq libraries prior to Illumina sequencing.
