Methylome underpins differentiation potential of neural stem and progenitor cells
Published in Cell Reports

Using freshly isolated neural stem/progenitor cells from mouse embryonic brain, our member Drs. Imamura and Nakashima together with colleagues revealed sequential changes in genome-wide DNA methylation status in the developing mouse CNS. This resource characterizes stage-dependent differentially methylation regions (DMRs), targeted by specific transcription factors including NFI, for the understanding of cell-intrinsic mechanisms in the CNS.
