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.

PWMScan: a fast tool for scanning entire genomes with a position-specific weight matrix.

TL;DR: PWMScan, a fast web-based tool to scan server-resident genomes for matches to a user-supplied PWM or transcription factor binding site model from a public database, is presented.

Deleting an Nr4a1 Super-Enhancer Subdomain Ablates Ly6C low Monocytes while Preserving Macrophage Gene Function.

TL;DR: Combining ChIP-seq and molecular approaches, a single, conserved, sub-domain within the Nr4a1 enhancer was identified that was essential for Ly6Clow monocyte development and decoupling these processes allows Ly6clow monocytes to be studied independently.

Chromatin-associated RNA sequencing (ChAR-seq) maps genome-wide RNA-to-DNA contacts.

TL;DR: It is shown that ChAR-seq provides unbiased, de novo identification of targets of chromatin-bound RNAs including nascent transcripts, chromosome-specific dosage compensation ncRNAs, and genome-wide trans-associated RNAs involved in co-transcriptional RNA processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

The regulatory network of B-cell differentiation: a focused view of early B-cell factor 1 function.

TL;DR: A model in which extrinsic signals and intrinsic cues establish a permissive chromatin context upon which a regulatory network of transcription factors and epigenetic modifiers act to guide the differentiation of hematopoietic lineages is proposed.

Repeated losses of PRDM9-directed recombination despite the conservation of PRDM9 across vertebrates

TL;DR: It is shown that swordtail fish carrying only a partial but conserved ortholog share recombination properties with PRDM9 knock-outs, suggesting that all domains are necessary for directing recombination.

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.

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.
