Short communicationHistone H3 trimethylated at lysine 4 is enriched at probable transcription start sites in Trypanosoma brucei
Graphical abstract
The histone modification H3K4me3 is enriched at probable sites of transcription initiation in Trypanosoma brucei and co-localizes with H4K10ac and histone variants H2AZ and H2Bv.
