Project description:We report the application of MNase-seq (Kent, Adams et al. 2011) to construct genome-wide nucleosome maps from human cells. To date, genome-wide changes in chromatin structure that occur during development in human cells have not been investigated widely. We have constructed and compared genome-wide chromatin maps from undifferentiated human iPS cells and and iPS cells differentiated to neural progenitor cells (NPC).
Project description:We generated genome-wide chromatin-state maps of human airway smooth muscle cells. We find that lysine 4 and lysine 27 trimethylation effectively discriminates genes that are expressed, poised for expression, or stably repressed, Lysine 4 monomethylation was used to highlight the location of potential regulatory domains in these cells.
Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of SNF5 binding in human pluripotent embryonic carcinoma NCCIT and SNF5 overexpressed NCCIT cells. We generated genome-wide cSNF5 maps of NCCIT and SNF5 overexpressed NCCIT cells from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA. SNF5 and OCT4 seem not to share their binding in OCT4 centered binding plot in control, while SNF5 overexpression directs SNF5 to OCT4 target genes.
