My favourite example is from the chytrid fungus S. punctatus, which has a near perfect colocalization of H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 encompassing both TEs and genes (reminiscent of the effect of the dual writing ability of Ezl1 in ciliates) 10/n

We hypothesize that the evolutionary arms race between TEs and their repression (and co-option) by host genomes helps drive diversity. But a missing component is the readers of these histone modifications and their downstream interactors, which I aim to address during the rest of my postdoc! 11/n
