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...

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 species during embryogenesis by integration of ATAC-seq and RNA-seq datasets. Regulatory roles of candidate early embryonic TFs were investigated. Widespread accessible chromatin in early embryos overlapped with putative cis-regulatory sequences. Sets of cell-fate-determining TFs were identified. YOX1, a key cell cycle regulator, were found to homologous to clusters of TFs that are involved in neuron and epidermal cell-fate determination. Our research provides an intriguing insight into evolution of cell-fate decision during early embryogenesis among organisms. |
