Planteome: Term Details for "chromatin silencing" (GO:0006342)

Term Information

Accession: GO:0006342
Name: chromatin silencing
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: TGS, chromatin-mediated maintenance of transcriptional inactivation, chromatin-mediated silencing, transcriptional gene silencing, heterochromatic silencing
Alternate IDs: GO:0016440
Definition: Repression of transcription by altering the structure of chromatin, e.g. by conversion of large regions of DNA into an inaccessible state often called heterochromatin. Source: PMID:10219245, GOC:mah
Comment: Note that this process is the opposite of chromatin-mediated maintenance of transcription. This regulation is exemplified by members of the Polycomb group, which maintain the inactive state of homeotic gene transcription.
