abnormal chromatin silencing abnormal chromatin silencing at subtelomere 2011-04-13T03:34:54Z abnormal chromatin silencing at telomere A transcription regulation phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which chromatin silencing at subtelomeric regions is abnormal. Chromatin silencing is the observed effect of processes that repress transcription in a region of the genome that is normally assembled into heterochromatin. abnormal chromatin silencing at telomere during vegetative growth FYPO:0000169 Chromatin silencing phenotypes may reflect the assembly or maintenance of heterochromatin. See the GO cellular component term 'heterochromatin' (GO:0000792), and the biological process term 'heterochromatin organization' (GO:0070828). abnormal chromatin silencing at subtelomere during mitotic cell cycle midori
