Summary (written by the submitters)
Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and other naïve pluripotent stem cells, under specific conditions, can reverse typical developmental trajectories and de-differentiate into 2-cell-like cells (2CLCs) that resemble the mammalian embryo during zygotic genome activation (ZGA). We implemented a multipurpose allele for acute protein depletion and efficient immunoprecipitation to dissect the molecular functions of EHMT2 in mESCs.

This approach allowed us to define different types of EHMT2 target genes and distinct modes of chromatin engagement and repression. Most notably, EHMT2 directly represses large clusters of co-regulated gene loci that comprise a significant fraction of the 2CLC-specific transcriptome by initiating H3K9me2 spreading from distal LINE-1 elements. Conversely, the loss of EHMT2 allows the recruitment of the activator DPPA2/4 to promoter-proximal ERVs in 2CLCs, thus facilitating the mESC-to-2CLC transition. Repression of germ layer-associated transcripts by EHMT2 occurs outside of gene clusters in collaboration with ZFP462 and entails binding to non-repeat enhancers. Our data suggests that EHMT2 functions as an attenuator of the bidirectional differentiation potential of mouse naïve pluripotent stem cells and define molecular models for the gene-specific repressive activity of this essential histone methyltransferase.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE280604_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1179480 and SRA study SRP541895. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
