Abstract

Transcription factor regulation of gene expression and chromatin-controlled epigenetic memory systems are closely cooperating in establishing the pluripotent state of embryonic stem (ES) cells and maintaining cell fate decisions throughout development of an organism. A thorough understanding of the regulatory transcriptional circuitry that rules the underlying plastic yet heritable gene expression programs in ES cells is of great importance. With the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies facilitating the quantitative assessment of functional genomics assays it is now feasible to interrogate transcription networks at a genome-wide scale. Here, we discuss the application of next-generation sequencing in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying ES cell function.
