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.

The role of the local environment and epigenetics in shaping macrophage identity and their effect on tissue homeostasis

TL;DR: It is argued that epigenetic regulation of macrophages is determined by lineage- and tissue-specific transcription factors controlled by the built-in programming of myeloid development in combination with signaling from the tissue environment.

Transcriptional profiling of mouse B cell terminal differentiation defines a signature for antibody-secreting plasma cells

TL;DR: The transcriptomes of many mature B cell populations and stages of plasma cell differentiation in mice are defined and a molecular signature of ASCs is provided that highlights the stark transcriptional divide between B cells and plasma cells and enables the demarcation ofASCs on the basis of location and maturity.

Requirement for the histone deacetylase Hdac3 for the inflammatory gene expression program in macrophages

TL;DR: Using an integrated genomic approach, it is found that Hdac3-deficient macrophages were unable to activate almost half of the inflammatory gene expression program when stimulated with LPS, indicating a central role for HdAc3 in inflammation and may have relevance for the use of selective HdAC inhibitors as antiinflammatory agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genetics of Transcription Factor DNA Binding Variation

TL;DR: The findings that led to this important paradigm shift are summarized and proposed mechanisms for local, proximal, or distal genetic variation-driven variable TF-DNA binding are reviewed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
