Although Tead4 is well-known to be critical for blastocyst development and trophoblast lineage differentiation, the higher-order chromatin organization around this gene remains poorly understood. We a
Polycomb group (PcG) and Trithorax group (TrxG) proteins orchestrate development of a multicellular organism by faithfully maintaining cell fate decisions made early in embryogenesis. An important chr
Pluripotent cells of the mammalian embryo undergo extensive chromatin rewiring to prepare for lineage commitment after implantation. Repressive H3K27me3, deposited by Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PR
This time-lapse series illustrates the early division up to the four-cell stage of a C. elegans embryo depleted of npl-4 through RNAi. The first C. elegans embryonic division of the P0 zygote is asymm
