    Studysummary This study observed that the loss of H3K9me3, via the ablation of Suv39h1, Suv39h2, and Setdb1 in embryonic mouse epidermis, disrupts skin development processes such as keratinocyte differentiation and hair follicle formation, highlighting H3K9me3's crucial role in epidermal morphogenesis.
