Human Gene Set: GOBP_HETEROCHROMATIN_FORMATION

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_HETEROCHROMATIN_FORMATION

Standard name GOBP_HETEROCHROMATIN_FORMATION
Systematic name M48409
Brief description An epigenetic gene silencing mechanism in which chromatin is compacted into heterochromatin, resulting in a chromatin conformation refractory to transcription. This process starts with heterochromatin nucleation, its spreading, and ends with heterochromatin boundary formation. [PMID:25192661, PMID:33827924]
