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.

METTL3-mediated m6A modification is required for cerebellar development.

TL;DR: It is shown that specific inactivation of Mettl3 in mouse nervous system causes severe developmental defects in the brain, and a critical role of METTL3-mediated m6A in regulating the development of mammalian cerebellum is revealed.

Maintaining cell identity through global control of genomic organization

TL;DR: P paradigmatic genetic and biochemical studies in immune system and hematopoietic cells strongly point to the concept that both induction and maintenance of the differentiated state require constant supervision by lineage-determining transcription factors, which may act to globally organize the genome in both the one- and the three-dimensional space.

The African Turquoise Killifish Genome Provides Insights into Evolution and Genetic Architecture of Lifespan

TL;DR: A reference genome is assembled for the naturally short-lived African turquoise killifish, providing a unique resource for comparative and experimental genomics and the identification of genes under positive selection in this fish reveals potential candidates to explain its compressed lifespan.

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.
