title: Greetings from the planet croton.
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell, Sabari et al. (2015) discover that levels of intracellular crotonyl-CoA impact the histone acylation landscape, providing deeper insight into the exotic histone modification, crotonylation, and exploring new avenues by which cellular metabolism can influence gene expression.
