| def | "Maintenance of transcription by remodelling of chromatin into an 'open configuration'. Once established, this regulation is mitotically stable and is maintained over many cell divisions. It is also heritable." [GOC:jid]

| comment | Note that this process is the opposite of chromatin silencing. This regulation is exemplified by members of the trithorax group, which maintain the active state of homeotic gene transcription.
