Greenberg lab – DNA methylation restricts coordinated germline and neural fates in embryonic stem cell differentiation

The Greenberg contributed to the publication of a new article in Nature Structural & Molecular biology: DNA methylation restricts coordinated germline and neural fates in embryonic stem cell differentiation   Abstract: As embryonic stem cells (ESCs) transition from naive to primed pluripotency during early mammalian development, they acquire high DNA methylation levels. During this transition, the germline is…
