TLDR
It is demonstrated in macrophages and B cells that collaborative interactions of the common factor PU.1 with small sets of macrophage- or B cell lineage-determining transcription factors establish cell-specific binding sites that are associated with the majority of promoter-distal H3K4me1-marked genomic regions.

Dual regulatory switch through interactions of Tcf7l2/Tcf4 with stage-specific partners propels oligodendroglial maturation.

TL;DR: This work identifies stage-specific co-regulators Kaiso and Sox10 that sequentially interact with Tcf7l2 to coordinate the switch at the transitions of differentiation initiation and maturation during oligodendrocyte development, and point to a previously unrecognized role of Tcf8l2 in control of cholesterol biosynthesis for CNS myelinogenesis.

GATA3-dependent cellular reprogramming requires activation-domain dependent recruitment of a chromatin remodeler.

TL;DR: The mechanistic basis by which GATA3 functions as a pioneer TF in a cellular reprogramming event relevant to breast cancer, the mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET), is explored and a new conceptual framework for de novo enhancer establishment by a pioneerTF is provided.

The transcription factor Grainy head primes epithelial enhancers for spatiotemporal activation by displacing nucleosomes.

TL;DR: It is found that SNPs affecting binding sites of the TF Grainy head (Grh) causally determine the accessibility of epithelial enhancers, and Grh is shown to function as a pioneer factor, displacing nucleosomes and paving the way for other transcription factors to activate enhancers.

High-resolution profiling of histone methylations in the human genome.

TL;DR: High-resolution maps for the genome-wide distribution of 20 histone lysine and arginine methylations as well as histone variant H2A.Z, RNA polymerase II, and the insulator binding protein CTCF across the human genome using the Solexa 1G sequencing technology are generated.

RAG-1-deficient mice have no mature B and T lymphocytes

TL;DR: The introduction of a mutation in RAG-1 into the germline of mice via gene targeting in embryonic stem cells is described and it is shown that this mutation either activates or catalyzes the V(D)J recombination reaction of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-scale DNA methylation maps of pluripotent and differentiated cells

TL;DR: Low-throughput reduced representation bisulphite sequencing is established as a powerful technology for epigenetic profiling of cell populations relevant to developmental biology, cancer and regenerative medicine.
