title: Histone modifications: an assembly line for active chromatin?
abstract: Histone modifications play a major role in the control of genes in their natural chromatin context. A detailed, time-resolved analysis of histone modifications during gene activation has now revealed the order of appearance of particular histone modifications on a promoter during regulatory processes.
