title: Chromatin: Polycomb Group SAMs Unite.
abstract: Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins assemble a chromatin state that maintains developmental gene repression. A new study combining structure and in vivo analysis details a molecular network from DNA recognition to PcG recruitment, highlighting the essential role of Sterile Alpha Motifs.
