Core Tip

Core tip: Here, we provided a summary on epigenetics and chromatin structure in pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and their differentiated counterpart. We especially aim at histone signature, function of heterochromatin protein 1. Moreover, we summarized published data on nuclear architecture; we especially addressed arrangement of chromosome territories and genes in pluripotent ESCs and after induced differentiation.
