DESCRIPTION:The epigenetic phenomenon of position effect variegation in Dr
 osophila has been instrumental in the elucidation of the histone code. We 
 have shown that this phenomenon is conserved in mammals\, can be induced b
 y pathological triplet repeat expansions and differs between the sexes. Th
 ese findings have implications for understanding pathological gene silenci
 ng and sex bias in health and disease.
