GC-Rich Sequence Elements Recruit PRC2 in Mammalian ES Cells

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of engineered bacterial artificial chromosomes were integrated into embryonic stem (ES) cells and examined their chromatin, and it was shown that a 44 kb region corresponding to the Zfpm2 locus initiates de novo recruitment of PRC2.

GC-rich sequence elements recruit PRC2 in mammalian ES cells

TL;DR: A causal role for GC-rich sequences in PRC2 recruitment is demonstrated and a specific subset of CpG islands depleted of activating motifs are implicate as instrumental for the initial localization of this key regulator in mammalian genomes.

Spectral Repeat Finder (SRF): identification of repetitive sequences using Fourier transformation

TL;DR: The Spectral Repeat Finder program circumvents problems by using a discrete Fourier transformation to identify significant periodicities present in a sequence and shows efficient and complete detection of repeats.
