Histone Modifications at Human Enhancers Reflect Global Cell-Type-Specific Gene Expression

The human body is composed of diverse cell types with distinct functions. Although it is known that lineage specification depends on cell-specific gene expression, which in turn is driven by promoters, enhancers, insulators and other cis-regulatory DNA sequences for each gene1, 2, 3, the relative ro...
