TITLE: "Genomewide supervised prediction of activating and repressive regions in over hundred cell and tissue types" ABSTRACT: While the vast majority of variants associated with common disease risk are distributed across the non-coding genome, our understanding of the regulatory elements contained within remains notably incomplete. Strategies for identifying and characterizing these regulatory elements, such as […]

TITLE: "XIST controls X chromosome dampening and autosomal genes in early human development" ABSTRACT: Female human pre-implantation embryos and naïve human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) equalize X-linked gene expression with males via X-chromosome dampening (XCD), a unique strategy of dosage compensation in mammals. The mechanisms controlling XCD are unknown. Here, we show that the long non-coding […]
