Journal ArticleDOI

Pioneer transcription factors: establishing competence for gene expression

TL;DR: The field is reviewed and how pioneer factors may enable cellular reprogramming is described, which can passively enhance transcription by reducing the number of additional factors that are needed to bind the DNA, culminating in activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide analysis of estrogen receptor binding sites

TL;DR: All estrogen receptor and RNA polymerase II binding sites are mapped on a genome-wide scale, identifying the authentic cis binding sites and target genes, in breast cancer cells, and distinct temporal mechanisms of estrogen-mediated gene regulation are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosome-Wide Mapping of Estrogen Receptor Binding Reveals Long-Range Regulation Requiring the Forkhead Protein FoxA1

TL;DR: The unbiased sequence interrogation of the genuine chromatin binding sites suggests that direct ER binding requires the presence of Forkhead factor binding in close proximity, demonstrating the necessity of FoxA1 in mediating an estrogen response in breast cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association analysis identifies 65 new breast cancer risk loci

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of breast cancer in 122,977 cases and 105,974 controls of European ancestry and 14,068 cases and 13,104 controls of East Asian ancestry finds that heritability of Breast cancer due to all single-nucleotide polymorphisms in regulatory features was 2–5-fold enriched relative to the genome- wide average.
Journal ArticleDOI

FoxA1 Translates Epigenetic Signatures into Enhancer-Driven Lineage-Specific Transcription

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genome-wide positional analyses suggest that methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 is part of the epigenetic signature that defines lineage-specific FoxA1 recruitment sites in chromatin.
