Enhancer-associated H3K4 methylation safeguards in vitro germline competence

While inductive signals controlling germline specification are well characterized, the intrinsic factors that allow epiblast cells to respond to such signals remain largely unknown. Here the authors use in vitro differentiated primordial germ cells to show that partial retention of histone H3K4 mono...

Sumario:While inductive signals controlling germline specification are well characterized, the intrinsic factors that allow epiblast cells to respond to such signals remain largely unknown. Here the authors use in vitro differentiated primordial germ cells to show that partial retention of histone H3K4 monomethylation within relevant enhancers is important for germline competence and specification.
