Abstract
Successful animal cloning after nuclear transfer requires efficient reprogramming to achieve totipotency. Erasure of pre-existing marks is not always efficient and some genes can escape reprogramming and maintain their original active transcriptional state. Ng and Gurdon propose that the histone H3.3 variant is a key player in this process.
