Accessible chromatin reveals regulatory mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions during early embryogenesis

Abstract This study was conducted to investigate epigenetic landscape across multiple species and identify transcription factors (TFs) and their roles in controlling cell fate decision events during early embryogenesis. We made a comprehensively joint-research of chromatin accessibility of five spec...
