Beyond DNA: Epigenetics Plays Large Role in Blood Formation

Weizmann Institute scientists developed a new technique for epigenetic profiling, enabling them to identify the exact DNA sequences, as well as various regulatory proteins, involved in regulating the process of blood stem cell fate. In a first, they also charted histone dynamics during blood development. The work holds promise for future development of diagnostic tools, regenerative medicine, and more.
