The Argonaute family: tentacles that reach into RNAi, developmental control, stem cell maintenance, and tumorigenesis
TL;DR: Argonaute proteins comprise a highly conserved protein family that is involved in a variety of RNA silencing phenomena in a diverse set of organisms and may ultimately reveal the reach of these pathways into the basic biological mechanisms that underlie a range of human diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
CRISPR Inversion of CTCF Sites Alters Genome Topology and Enhancer/Promoter Function

TL;DR: Although enhancers can function in an orientation-independent manner in reporter assays, in the native chromosome context, the orientation of at least some enhancers carrying CBSs can determine both the architecture of topological chromatin domains and enhancer/promoter specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulating Gene Expression through RNA Nuclear Retention
Kannanganattu V. Prasanth,Supriya G. Prasanth,Zhenyu Xuan,Stephen Hearn,Susan M. Freier,C. Frank Bennett,Michael Q. Zhang,David L. Spector +7 more
TL;DR: A role of the cell nucleus in harboring RNA molecules that are not immediately needed to produce proteins but whose cytoplasmic presence is rapidly required upon physiologic stress is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that promoters that are active in early developmental stages tend to be CG rich and mainly engage H3K27me3 upon silencing in nonexpressing lineages, while promoters for genes expressed preferentially at later stages are often CG poor and primarily employ DNA methylation upon repression.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work combined MeDIP-seq with methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme (MRE-seq) sequencing for comprehensive methylome coverage at lower cost and detected regions with allele-specific epigenetic states, identifying most known imprinted regions and new loci with Monoallelic epigenetic marks and monoallelic expression.
