def: "An epigenetic mechanism of regulation of gene expression that involves chromatin remodeling to capacitate gene expression by either modifying the chromatin fiber, the nucleosomal histones, or the DNA." [PMID:34414474]
comment: This regulation is exemplified by members of the trithorax group, which maintain the active state of homeotic gene transcription. Do not confuse with GO:0140673 ; transcriptional elongation-coupled chromatin remodeling, which describes the reforming of chromatin after RNA polymerase II passage.
