Reciprocal intronic and exonic histone modification regions in humans

Abstract

Chromatin carries various modifications that have been related to DNA and RNA metabolism. Analysis of numerous histone modifications across the human genome now demonstrates that intronic and exonic regions are enriched with distinct modifications. Studies of two alternatively spliced genes suggest that exon definition, rather than splicing, may contribute to these patterns.
