Describe how H3Lys9me heterochromatin is formed 
 ~~> H3Lys9me heterochromatin formation: Lys9 deacetylated by 
HDAC. Suvar39 then methylates lys9. Methylated lys9 is recognised by 
HP1 and then HP1 binds. HP1 has chromodomain - chromodomains 
often recognise and bind to methylated lys residue...

What is gene expression? 
 ~~> dsDNA is decoded to ssRNA/proteins by an mRNA intermediate 
using A/U/C/GTPs and RNA polymerase 
Where is the consensus sequence in prokaryotic promoters?
