								However, upon β-catenin stabilization, it associates with β-catenin inside the euchromatic nuclear compartment, and its binding to target DNA is enhanced along with recruitment of β-catenin and H3K9 acetylation. PLoS Biology: New Articles Dimple Notani et al. 2010

								Knock-down and transfection experiments for DOT1L show that this enzyme has a direct role in maintaining the euchromatic and active status of these genes when unmethylated. 
- 
								These findings suggest that DNA demethylating interventions alone are not able to restore a complete euchromatic status and a full transcriptional reactivation of the epigenetically silenced tumor suppressor genes, and reinforce the necessity of targeting multiple elements of the epigenetics machinery for a successful treatment of malignancies.

								Our molecular maps demonstrate that heterochromatin can invade a normally euchromatic region, yet the strength of HP1 binding and effects on gene expression are highly dependent on local context.

								Segmental duplications (SDs) are euchromatic portions of genomic DNA ([greater than or equal to] 1kb) that occur at more than one site within the genome, and typically share a high level of sequence identity (>
