Inferring chromatin accessibility during murine hematopoiesis through phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Diversification of cell types and changes in epigenetic states during cell differentiation processes are important for understanding development. Recently, phylogenetic analysis using DNA methylation and histone modification information has been shown useful for inferring these processes. The purpose of this study was to examine whether chromatin accessibility data can help infer these processes in murine hematopoiesis.

Results

Chromatin accessibility data could partially infer the hematopoietic differentiation hierarchy. Furthermore, based on the ancestral state estimation of internal nodes, the open/closed chromatin states of differentiating progenitor cells could be predicted with a specificity of 0.86-0.99 and sensitivity of 0.29-0.72. These results suggest tha
