Abstract excerpt
Chromatin regions with different states usually harbor distinct epigenetic information, through which gene expression is regulated. Recent studies using mammalian cells showed that a chromatin state signature is associated with active developmental enhancers, defined by high levels of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) and strong depletion of H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). These findings also imply that...
