Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the covalent addition of methyl groups to histones. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the covalent addition of methyl groups to histones. The modification of histones by addition of methyl groups. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the covalent addition of methyl groups to histones. The modification of a histone by addition of a methyl group to an arginine residue. The covalent attachment of a methyl residue to one or more monomeric units in a polypeptide, polynucleotide, polysaccharide, or other biological macromolecule. The addition of a methyl group to a protein amino acid. A methyl group is derived from methane by the removal of a hydrogen atom. The modification of a histone by addition of a methyl group to a lysine residue. The covalent alteration of one or more amino acid residues within a histone protein. The addition of an alkyl group to a protein amino acid. An alkyl group is any group derived from an alkane by removal of one hydrogen atom. The alteration of DNA or protein in chromatin by the covalent addition or removal of chemical groups. The covalent alteration of one or more amino acids occurring in a protein after the protein has been completely translated and released from the ribosome.
