Project description:Our study reports the first genome-wide atlas of functional nodes that mediate proviral silencing in ESCs. It provides evidences for the comprehensive, interconnected and multi-layered genetic/epigenetic machineries by which ESCs maintain the repressive state of provirus and ERVs. ChIP-seq analysis of Chaf1a, Trim28, Sumo2 and Zfp809 to demonstrate the mechanism of the silencing of Endogenous retroviruses
