The interplay of DNA (de)methylation and the architectural chromatin protein CTCF is an important regulator of cellular differentiation, but molecular mechanisms determining differential CTCF binding
Differentiated cell can be reprogrammed into totipotent embryo through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, this process is highly inefficient and most cloned embryos arrest at certain devel
Our study reports the first genome-wide atlas of functional nodes that mediate proviral silencing in ESCs. It provides evidences for the comprehensive, interconnected and multi-layered genetic/epigen
Polycomb group (PcG) proteins play critical roles during development. H2Aub and H3K27me3 are deposited by Polycomb-repressive Complex 1 and 2 (PRC1/2) respectively, and largely overlap in the genome d
We generated and analyzed ChIP-seq data for H3k4me3, H3k4me1, and H3k27me3. We annotated active and poised promoters and enhancers, as well as regions associated with repressed gene expression and fou
