Chromatin structure is dynamic and highly regulated
10. Stem cell chromatin is dynamic and tuned
to regulate cell fate
11. ES cells carefully regulate their chromatin via specialized
transcription factors
12. Embryonic stem cell chromatin is poised for action
13. Histone modifications are specifically regulated in stem cells to
maintain pluripotency and facilitate differentiation
14. Chromatin state is precisely regulated by nucleosome remodeling
factors in ES ceils
15. Long-range chromatin interactions are critical for regulation of pluripotency
16. ES ceils regulate chromatin by common processes to preserve
pluripotency
