Integrative analysis of 111 reference human epigenomes

Anshul Kundaje, +123 more
- 19 Feb 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that disease- and trait-associated genetic variants are enriched in tissue-specific epigenomic marks, revealing biologically relevant cell types for diverse human traits, and providing a resource for interpreting the molecular basis of human disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Directly Reprogrammed Fibroblasts Show Global Epigenetic Remodeling and Widespread Tissue Contribution

TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis of two key histone modifications indicated that iPS cells are highly similar to ES cells, and data show that transcription factor-induced reprogramming leads to the global reversion of the somatic epigenome into an ES-like state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromatin architecture reorganization during stem cell differentiation

TL;DR: Mapping genome-wide chromatin interactions in human embryonic stem cells and four human ES-cell-derived lineages reveals extensive chromatin reorganization during lineage specification, providing a global view of chromatin dynamics and a resource for studying long-range control of gene expression in distinct human cell lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells Are Distinguished by Gene Expression Signatures

TL;DR: Genome-wide data and high-resolution array profiling demonstrated that there is no common specific subkaryotypic alteration that is required for reprograming and that reprogramming does not lead to genomic instability, and suggest that iPSCs should be considered a unique subtype of pluripotent cell.
