Abstract excerpt
Developmental gene expression programmes are coordinated by the specialized distal cis-regulatory elements called enhancers, which integrate lineage- and signalling-dependent inputs to guide morphogenesis. In previous work, we characterized the genome-wide repertoire of active enhancers in human neural crest cells (hNCC), an embryonic cell population with critical roles in craniofacial development. We showed that...
