CRISPR reveals a distal super-enhancer required for Sox2 expression in mouse embryonic stem cells.

The pluripotency of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is maintained by a small group of master transcription factors including Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog. These core factors form a regulatory circuit controlling the transcription of a number of pluripotency factors including themselves. Although previous studie...
