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.

Therapeutic targeting of ependymoma as informed by oncogenic enhancer profiling

Stephen C. Mack, +108 more
- 04 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Through profiling of transcriptional enhancers, this study provides a framework for target and drug discovery in other cancers that lack known genetic drivers and are therefore difficult to treat, and reveals putative oncogenes, molecular targets and pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA N6-Methyladenine Is Dynamically Regulated in the Mouse Brain Following Environmental Stress

TL;DR: It is shown that N6-methyladenine level in the mouse brain is dynamic following environmental stress, and the subsequent differential gene expression is correlated with LINE transposon expression, suggesting an epigenetic role for 6mA in the mammalian brain as well as its potential involvement in neuropsychiatric disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

PRC1 Catalytic Activity Is Central to Polycomb System Function

TL;DR: It is found that Polycomb-mediated gene repression requires PRC1 catalytic activity, and this discovery provides compelling evidence thatPRC1 catalysis is central to Polycomb system function and gene regulation.

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.
