GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

Disrupting the association of G9a-GLP with chromatin by depleting WIZ resulted in altered gene expression and protein-protein interactions that were distinguishable from that of small molecule-based inhibition of G9a/GLP
Title: A Role for Widely Interspaced Zinc Finger (WIZ) in Retention of the G9a Methyltransferase on Chromatin.
Data indicate zinc finger proteins ZNF644 and WIZ as two core subunits in the histone-lysine N-methyltransferase G9a/GLP complex, and interact with the transcription activation domain of G9a and GLP.
Title: The zinc finger proteins ZNF644 and WIZ regulate the G9a/GLP complex for gene repression.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
