Histone post-translational modifications such as the trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27Me3), affect DNA accessibility and transcription. Here, the authors show that Jmjd3 and Utx, two H3K27Me3 demethylases, are important for regulating the expression of genes involved in terminal thymocyte differentiation.
