During early postnatal life, extensive changes in gene expression occur concomitantly in multiple major organs, indicating the existence of a common core developmental genetic program. This program in
Coordinated gene expression is fundamental for cell identity, development and differentiation, and relies on a highly organized genome. Our central goal is to determine when and how higher-order 3D ch
The histone variant H2A.Z is central to early embryonic development, determining transcriptional competency through chromatin regulation of gene promoters and enhancers. In addition to genic loci, we
