Google really said "Did you mean: Histone variants — ancient rap artists of the epigenome" and I'm dying! Histones are proteins that DNA wraps around like a molecular spool, and the meme brilliantly reimagines them as hip-hop artists dropping sick beats while organizing our genetic material. The image shows a rapper with a nucleosome for a head, which is just *chef's kiss*. Histone variants like H2A.1 (mentioned in the title) are basically the underground artists of the chromatin scene, modifying gene expression without changing the actual DNA sequence. They're literally dropping epigenetic beats that determine which genes get played!
