Journal ArticleDOI

The Polycomb Group Protein Suz12 Is Required for Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Suz12 is required for the establishment of specific expression programs required for ES cell differentiation and evidence that PcGs have different mechanisms to regulate transcription during cellular differentiation is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

The sheep genome illuminates biology of the rumen and lipid metabolism

Yu Jiang, +79 more

TL;DR: A genome for ewe and ewe Sheep-specific genetic changes underlie differences in lipid metabolism between sheep and other mammals, and may have contributed to the production of wool.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retinoblastoma protein functions as a molecular switch determining white versus brown adipocyte differentiation.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the retinoblastoma protein pRB acts as a molecular switch determining white vs. brown adipogenesis, suggesting a previously uncharacterized function of this key cell cycle regulator in adipocyte lineage commitment and differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The retinoblastoma-histone deacetylase 3 complex inhibits PPARgamma and adipocyte differentiation

TL;DR: It is shown that the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), a nuclear receptor pivotal for adipogenesis, promotes adipocyte differentiation more efficiently in the absence of RB.
