Chromatin landscape at cis-regulatory elements orchestrates cell fate decisions in early embryogenesis - Nature Communications
Germ layer specification during zygotic genome activation is regulated by chromatin state. Here, the authors use single-cell multiome profiling in Drosophila to show that H3K27me3 and H3K27ac at cis-r...
