Conserved chromatin regulators control the transcriptional immune response to intracellular pathogens in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Robust transcriptional responses are critical for defense against infection.However, unrestrained immune responses can cause negative impacts such as damaging inflammation and slowed development.Here, we find that a class of transcriptional regulators Jackets previously associated with regulation of development in Caenorhabditis elegans, is also in
