Very grateful to have been involved in this paper for the bioinformatics analysis. nature.com/articles/s4158… Well done to Tien-Chi and Reprogramming and Chromatin Group #LMSBioinformaticsCore @MRC_LMS
Happy to share our story which finally came out on @Nature. We show that, in the hypomethylated germ line, Polycomb (H3K27me3) functionally replaces DNA methylation to provide transcriptional repression of both genes and transposable elements. tinyurl.com/yckv37b2
