abstract：BACKGROUND:The packaging of DNA into chromatin regulates transcription from initiation through 3' end processing. One aspect of transcription in which chromatin plays a poorly understood role is the co-transcriptional splicing of pre-mRNA. RESULTS:Here we provide evidence that H2B monoubiquitylation (H2BK123ub1) marks...
