“…Our study demonstrates that at 50-kb resolution there are three distinct histone marks that are exclusive of one another across the genome (H3K9me3, H3K27me3, and H3K36me2), which is consistent with prior studies (Alabert et al, 2020;Streubel et al, 2018;Weinberg et al, 2019;Yuan et al, 2011). The corresponding chromatin states, along with the active state, were insulated from one another and maintained during cell cycle, while having distinct roles in local initiation, propagation, and completion of replication.…”
