Differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) is accompanied by changes in replication timing. To explore the relationship between replication timing and cell fate transitions, we constructed
In mice, genome-wide DNA methylation is actively erased at the onset of fertilisation, followed by remethylation in epiblasts after implantation, leading to inactive chromatin formation as a prelimina
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
