Identify acetylation marks from embryonic calvaria cell gene promoter regions from maternal high fat or control diet dams using H3K27ac ChIP-Seq.

Genes with increased H3K27ac marks in their promoters were found in mice embryonic calvaria cells using H3K27ac ChIP-Seq. Recent data suggests that in animals and humans that a maternal diet high in fat leads to poor bone growth and development in offspring. Genes with increased H3K27ac epigenetic marks normally have higher levels of expression. Understanding which genes are being upregulated in the offspring due to maternal diet would allow for better treatments to combat bone loss to be developed.
