Epigenetic Markers in Cells Lining the Large Intestine

Caption

This is an image of the lining of the large intestine of a mouse. DNA is marked in red with the epigenetic marker known as crotonylation shown in green. Yellow shows areas where crotonylation and DNA are found together. Signals from gut bacteria can change the amount of crotonylation in the gut and so influence gene activity.
