Transcription-coupled nucleosome turnover provides an opportunity to incorporate new nucleosomes at active genes. Swapping nucleosomes that contain silencing marks with those that are more permissive for transcription may provide a mechanism for remembering the activity state of a gene through the cell cycle.
