normal chromatin silencing normal chromatin silencing at subtelomere normal chromatin silencing at subtelomere during vegetative growth FYPO:0003555 2014-07-17T10:53:27Z normal chromatin silencing at telomere A transcription regulation phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which chromatin silencing in subtelomeric regions is normal (i.e. indistinguishable from wild type). Chromatin silencing is the observed effect of processes that repress transcription in a region of the genome that is normally assembled into heterochromatin. normal chromatin silencing at subtelomere during mitotic cell cycle 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). midori
