Abstract
Recent findings indicate that heterochromatin serves as a molecular si nk for factors involved in chromatin-mediated repression of gene expre ssion; long-range interactions that position a euchromatic gene near a heterochromatin domain influence its susceptibility to transcriptiona l silencing.
