Deskripsi

Neuronal differentiation requires rearrangement of the transcriptional and chromatin landscapes of neural cells. Here, the authors study in-vitro neuronal differentiation of murine embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to show that this process is modulated by DOT1L activity, which regulates H3K79me2 accumulation, and preserves accessibility of SOX2-bound enhancers.
