Open AccessSampling time-dependent artifacts in single-cell genomics studies
Robust protocols and automation now enable large-scale single-cell RNA and ATAC sequencing experiments and their application on biobank and clinical cohorts. However, technical biases introduced during sample ...

Open AccessIL-4 orchestrates STAT6-mediated DNA demethylation leading to dendritic cell differentiation
The role of cytokines in establishing specific transcriptional programmes in innate immune cells has long been recognized. However, little is known about how these extracellular factors instruct innate immune ...

Open AccessNF-κB-direct activation of microRNAs with repressive effects on monocyte-specific genes is critical for osteoclast differentiation
Monocyte-to-osteoclast conversion is a unique terminal differentiation process that is exacerbated in rheumatoid arthritis and bone metastasis. The mechanisms implicated in upregulating osteoclast-specific gen...

Open AccessPU.1 target genes undergo Tet2-coupled demethylation and DNMT3b-mediated methylation in monocyte-to-osteoclast differentiation
DNA methylation is a key epigenetic mechanism for driving and stabilizing cell-fate decisions. Local deposition and removal of DNA methylation are tightly coupled with transcription factor binding, although th...

Open AccessThe B cell transcription program mediates hypomethylation and overexpression of key genes in Epstein-Barr virus-associated proliferative conversion
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is a well characterized etiopathogenic factor for a variety of immune-related conditions, including lymphomas, lymphoproliferative disorders and autoimmune diseases. EBV-medi...

A truncating mutation of HDAC2 in human cancers confers resistance to histone deacetylase inhibition
Disruption of histone acetylation patterns is a common feature of cancer cells, but very little is known about its genetic basis. We have identified truncating mutations in one of the primary human histone dea...

Loss of acetylation at Lys16 and trimethylation at Lys20 of histone H4 is a common hallmark of human cancer
CpG island hypermethylation and global genomic hypomethylation are common epigenetic features of cancer cells. Less attention has been focused on histone modifications in cancer cells. We characterized post-tr...

Stage-specific chromosomal association of Drosophila dMBD2/3 during genome activation
The Drosophila gene dMBD2/3 encodes a protein with significant homologies to the mammalian methyl-DNA binding proteins MBD2 and MBD3. These proteins are essential components of chromatin complexes involved in ep...

Mi-2 complex couples DNA methylation to chromatin remodelling and histone deacetylation
Methylation of DNA at the dinucleotide CpG is essential for mammalian development and is correlated with stable transcriptional silencing1,2,3. This transcriptional silencing has recently been linked at a molecul...
