Histone tails are subject to a variety of post-translational modifications. The various methylations, acetylations and phosphorylations constitute the so-called `histone code' and are an important means of epigenetic regulation. In Cell Science at a Glance, Thomas Jenuwein and co-workers explain how this code is interpreted, focusing on histone lysine methylation and its role in silencing, transcriptional activation, X inactivation and senescence (see p. 2117 + poster).
