Dynamics of the epigenetic landscape during the maternal-to-zygotic transition.

TL;DR: The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is defined as the transition from maternal gene expression in the oocyte to zygotic genome activation and embryonic-driven development, characterized by global DNA demethylation, chromatin remodelling, genome reorganization and substantial transcriptional changes.

Beyond accessibility: ATAC-seq footprinting unravels kinetics of transcription factor binding during zygotic genome activation

TL;DR: ToBIAS is presented, a comprehensive, accurate, and fast footprinting framework enabling genome-wide investigation of TF binding dynamics for hundreds of TFs simultaneously, and illustrated how to unveil complex TF dynamics during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) in both humans and mice.

Dppa2 and Dppa4 directly regulate the Dux-driven zygotic transcriptional program

TL;DR: A candidate-based overexpression screen is performed, identifying developmental pluripotency-associated 2 (Dppa2) and Dppa4 as positive regulators of 2C-like cells and transcription of ZGA genes, and suggesting a model in which Dppa2/4 binding to the Dux promoter leads to Dux up-regulation and activation of the 2C+ transcriptional program, which is subsequently reinforced by Zscan4c.

Metabolism in Pluripotent Stem Cells and Early Mammalian Development

TL;DR: Metabolism is discussed as a potential driver of earliest cell fate through its influence on the epigenome and gene expression in embryos and their in vitro surrogate pluripotent stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brd4 and P300 Confer Transcriptional Competency during Zygotic Genome Activation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that P300 and Brd4 are sufficient to trigger genome-wide transcriptional competency by regulating histone acetylation on the first zygotic genes in zebrafish, which is critical for initiatingZygotic development and developmental reprogramming.

Stages of embryonic development of the zebrafish.

TL;DR: A series of stages for development of the embryo of the zebrafish, Danio (Brachydanio) rerio is described, providing for flexibility and continued evolution of the staging series as the authors learn more about development in this species.

A Bivalent Chromatin Structure Marks Key Developmental Genes in Embryonic Stem Cells

TL;DR: It is proposed that bivalent domains silence developmental genes in ES cells while keeping them poised for activation, highlighting the importance of DNA sequence in defining the initial epigenetic landscape and suggesting a novel chromatin-based mechanism for maintaining pluripotency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Core transcriptional regulatory circuitry in human embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the transcriptional regulation of stem cells and how OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG contribute to pluripotency and self-renewal and how they collaborate to form regulatory circuitry consisting of autoregulatory and feedforward loops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial reconstruction of single-cell gene expression data

TL;DR: Seurat is a computational strategy to infer cellular localization by integrating single-cell RNA-seq data with in situ RNA patterns, and correctly localizes rare subpopulations, accurately mapping both spatially restricted and scattered groups.
