Project description:Zfp296-KO ESCs grew as flat colonies and could not form teratomas, but could contribute to germline-competent chimeric mice. To analyze the molecular mechanisms causing these unique phenotypes, we compared gene expression profiles among wild-type (WT), Zfp296-KO, and Zfp296-rescue ESCs by RNA-sequencing.

Project description:To explore the molecular mechanism underlying transcriptional repression by ZFP296, we performed genome-wide analysis of chromatin accessibility (ATAC-seq).
Project description:Zfp296 KO profoundly affects the gene expression patterns of ESCs. ZFP296 belongs to the C2H2-type ZF family. To map the ZFP296 binding sites across the whole genome, chromatin immunoprecipitation DNA-sequencing (ChIP-seq) was performed.
