0:35 Defining the epigenetic memory of gene expression
2:37 Chromatin and histones
7:12 Histone modifications
7:59 Histone acetylation and reading by bromodomain proteins
12:02 Histone methylation and reading by chromodomain proteins
19:17 The complex language of histone modifications
21:53 How a core set of marks help define chromatin states
