Transcriptional reinduction memory is a phenomenon whereby cells "remember" their transcriptional response to a previous stimulus such that subsequent encounters with the same stimulus can result in altered gene expression kinetics. Chromatin structure is thought to play a role in certain transcriptional memory mechanisms, leading to questions as to whether and how memory can be actively maintained and inherited to progeny through cell division. Here we summarize efforts towards dissecting chromatin-based transcriptional memory inheritance ofGALgenes inSaccharomyces cerevisiae. We focus on methods and analyses ofGAL(as well asMALandINO) memory in single cells and discuss the challenges in unraveling the underlying mechanisms in yeast and higher eukaryotes.
