chromatin states in transcriptional memory. Biochim Biophys Acta
1790(6):445-455  Abstract: Establishment of cellular memory and
its faithful propagation is critical for successful development
of multicellular organisms. As pluripotent cells differentiate,
choices in cell fate are inherited and maintained by their
progeny throughout the lifetime of the organism. A major factor
in this process is the epigenetic inheritance of specific
transcriptional states or transcriptional memory. In this
review, we discuss chromatin transitions and mechanisms by which
they are inherited by subsequent generations. We also discuss
illuminating cases of cellular memory in budding yeast and
evaluate whether transcriptional memory in yeast is nuclear or
cytoplasmically inherited.  Status: Published Type: Journal
