Epigenetic evolution and lineage histories of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
Genetic and epigenetic intra-tumoral heterogeneity cooperate to shape the evolutionary course of cancer1. Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a highly informative model for cancer evolution as it undergoes sub...

Open AccessCorrupted coordination of epigenetic modifications leads to diverging chromatin states and transcriptional heterogeneity in CLL
Cancer evolution is fueled by epigenetic as well as genetic diversity. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), intra-tumoral DNA methylation (DNAme) heterogeneity empowers evolution. Here, to comprehensively st...

Open AccessGenome-wide tracking of dCas9-methyltransferase footprints
In normal mammalian development cytosine methylation is essential and is directed to specific regions of the genome. Despite notable advances through map** its genome-wide distribution, studying the direct c...

Article
Epigenetic restriction of extraembryonic lineages mirrors the somatic transition to cancer
Analysis of global remethylation in mouse embryos at several developmental stages identifies an epigenetic landscape that partitions extraembryonic tissues within the embryo and resembles a frequent, global de...

Prolonged Mek1/2 suppression impairs the developmental potential of embryonic stem cells
Long-term culture of male embryonic stem cells in naive conditions containing Mek1/2 and Gsk3a/b inhibitors leads to irreversible changes in epigenetic and genomic stability that compromise their in vivo developm...

Genomic epidemiology reveals multiple introductions of Zika virus into the United States
Genome sequencing of Zika virus samples from infected patients and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Florida shows that the virus was probably introduced into the United States on multiple occasions, and that the Carib...

Article
Zika virus evolution and spread in the Americas
One hundred and ten Zika virus genomes from ten countries and territories involved in the Zika virus epidemic reveal rapid expansion of the epidemic within Brazil and multiple introductions to other regions.

Virus genomes reveal factors that spread and sustained the Ebola epidemic
The 2013–2016 West African epidemic caused by the Ebola virus was of unprecedented magnitude, duration and impact. Here we reconstruct the dispersal, proliferation and decline of Ebola virus throughout the reg...

Open AccessTranscription factor binding dynamics during human ES cell differentiation
Pluripotent stem cells provide a powerful system to dissect the underlying molecular dynamics that regulate cell fate changes during mammalian development. Here we report the integrative analysis of genome-wid...

Article
Dissecting neural differentiation regulatory networks through epigenetic footprinting
The integrative analysis of epigenetic footprints along consecutive stages of neural progenitors derived from human ES cells reveals regulatory mechanisms that orchestrate stage-specific differentiation.

Article
Charting a dynamic DNA methylation landscape of the human genome
Whole-genome bisulphite sequencing data from diverse human cell and tissue types shows that only about 22% of CpGs change their methylation state across these cell types; most of these CpGs are located at gene...

Single-cell transcriptomics reveals bimodality in expression and splicing in immune cells
Single-cell RNA sequencing is used to investigate the transcriptional response of 18 mouse bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells after lipopolysaccharide stimulation; many highly expressed genes, such as key imm...

Open AccessThe African coelacanth genome provides insights into tetrapod evolution
The discovery of a living coelacanth specimen in 1938 was remarkable, as this lineage of lobe-finned fish was thought to have become extinct 70 million years ago. The modern coelacanth looks remarkably similar...

Article
A unique regulatory phase of DNA methylation in the early mammalian embryo
DNA methylation is highly dynamic during mammalian embryogenesis. It is broadly accepted that the paternal genome is actively depleted of 5-methylcytosine at fertilization, followed by passive loss that reache...

Article
Genome-scale DNA methylation maps of pluripotent and differentiated cells
DNA methylation, an important mechanism of epigenetic modification that produces different patterns of gene expression from a single DNA sequence, is vital to normal development and its malfunction can cause c...

Open AccessInsights from the genome of the biotrophic fungal plant pathogen Ustilago maydis
Ustilago maydis is an important fungal pathogen of maize, causing corn smut. It is well adapted to its host and proliferates in living plant tissue without inducing a defence response. The genome sequence of U. m...

Correction: Corrigendum: DNA sequence and analysis of human chromosome 18
Nature 437, 551–555 (2005) doi:10.1038/nature03983 The name of Keith O'Neill was accidentally omitted from the published author list. He is at the first affiliation in the address list.

DNA sequence and analysis of human chromosome 18
The sequence of human chromosome 18, which has the lowest gene density of any human chromosome, is now complete. Surprisingly, the proportion of non-protein-coding regions evolutionarily conserved among mammal...
