Derivation of trophoblast stem cells from naïve human pluripotent stem cells

C Dong, M Beltcheva, P Gontarz, B Zhang, P Popli… - elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Naïve human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provide a unique experimental platform of cell
fate decisions during pre-implantation development, but their lineage potential remains …

[HTML][HTML] Tissue-specific usage of transposable element-derived promoters in mouse development

B Miao, S Fu, C Lyu, P Gontarz, T Wang, B Zhang - Genome biology, 2020 - Springer
Background Transposable elements (TEs) are a significant component of eukaryotic genomes
and play essential roles in genome evolution. Mounting evidence indicates that TEs are …

[PDF][PDF] Deconstructing stepwise fate conversion of human fibroblasts to neurons by microRNAs

…, Y Liu, DG Abernathy, B Zhang, S Liu, P Gontarz… - Cell Stem Cell, 2021 - cell.com
Cell-fate conversion generally requires reprogramming effectors to both introduce fate
programs of the target cell type and erase the identity of starting cell population. Here, we reveal …

[PDF][PDF] The Reissner fiber is highly dynamic in vivo and controls morphogenesis of the spine

BR Troutwine, P Gontarz, MJ Konjikusic, R Minowa… - Current Biology, 2020 - cell.com
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) physiology is important for the development and homeostasis of
the central nervous system, and its disruption has been linked to scoliosis in zebrafish [1, 2]. …

Kdm6b regulates context-dependent hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and leukemogenesis

…, A Kothari, WK Koh, E Haussler, N Iwamori, P Gontarz… - Leukemia, 2019 - nature.com
The histone demethylase KDM6B (JMJD3) is upregulated in blood disorders, suggesting
that it may have important pathogenic functions. Here we examined the function of Kdm6b in …

[HTML][HTML] OCT4 cooperates with distinct ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers in naïve and primed pluripotent states in human

X Huang, K Park, P Gontarz, B Zhang, J Pan… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Understanding the molecular underpinnings of pluripotency is a prerequisite for optimal
maintenance and application of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). While the protein-protein …

[HTML][HTML] Comparison of differential accessibility analysis strategies for ATAC-seq data

P Gontarz, S Fu, X Xing, S Liu, B Miao, V Bazylianska… - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
ATAC-seq is widely used to measure chromatin accessibility and identify open chromatin
regions (OCRs). OCRs usually indicate active regulatory elements in the genome and are …

Transcriptional profiling of intramembranous and endochondral ossification after fracture in mice

…, JA McKenzie, EG Buettmann, X Liu, PM Gontarz… - Bone, 2019 - Elsevier
Bone fracture repair represents an important clinical challenge with nearly 1 million non-union
fractures occurring annually in the US Gene expression differs between non-union and …

Regulatory networks specifying cortical interneurons from human embryonic stem cells reveal roles for CHD2 in interneuron development

K Meganathan, EMA Lewis, P Gontarz… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Cortical interneurons (cINs) modulate excitatory neuronal activity by providing local
inhibition. During fetal development, several cIN subtypes derive from the medial ganglionic …

AIAP: a quality control and integrative analysis package to improve ATAC-seq data analysis
