Chromatin within the chromomere are held in position by a variety of histone modifications and epigenetic markers.
3.
MeCP2 binding patterns to chromomere domains are proportional to the density of chromomeric DNA found on a chromosome.
4.
Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 ( MeCP2 ) is a protein that binds to methylated DNA . MeCP2 has been found to associate most strongly with transcriptionally inactive chromomere domains.
5.
A "'chromomere "', also known as an "'idiomere "', is one of the serially aligned beads or granules of a eukaryotic chromosome, resulting from local coiling of a continuous DNA thread.
