The meiotic recombination activator PRDM9 trimethylates both H3K4 and H3K36 at recombination hotspots in vivo

Mammalian genetic recombination is concentrated at hotspots, specialized 1-2 Kb sites separated by long stretches of DNA lacking recombination. Mammalian hotspot locations depend on PRDM9, a zinc finger protein that binds at hotspots and uses its SET domain to locally trimethylate histone H3K4. Here we find that PRDM9 also locally trimethylates H3K36 at hotspots. Using ChIP-seq and immunoprecipitation data for H3K36me3 in murine spermatocytes, we show that H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 coincide only at...

Provenance — who produced it, who reused it

Linked to 2 papers in the literature. Roles are inferred factual signals (who deposited the data vs who reused it), with counts — never a judgement about any author.

Standardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained

No quantitative QC rubric exists for this data type yet, so it is deliberately left unscored — this is an honest "not applicable", not a poor rating.

measured = computed from the data · extrapolated/reported = derived or from the repository · dq-1.0 · provisional — verify independently
