Trithorax group (TrxG) proteins, which activate transcription, have lived in the shadow of their repressive counterparts, the Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. Recent advances have revealed roles for TrxG proteins in the epigenetic regulation of the cell cycle, senescence, DNA damage and stem cell biology.
