Chromatin accessibility is a key mediator of gene expression and mutations in chromatin modifiers are frequently seen in cancers. Here, the authors show that the chromatin accessibility regulator HMGN1 - which is frequently mutated by amplification in leukemias - acts by blocking myeloid differentiation.
