cellular
• overall association of homeobox (Hox) gene sequences with acetylated lysine 9 on histone 3 (H3K9) is significantly reduced in E10.5 embryos
• hypermethylation in H3K9 at Hox loci in E10.5 embryos
• H4K16 acetylation is increased at Hox loci in E10.5 embryos
• global levels of H3K9 acetylation are not significantly different
• nomal levels in H3K14 acetylation at Hox loci
• H3K9 acetylation returned to normal levels in E10.5 mutant embryos if treated with RA at E9.5
