TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the protein is required for female fertility, whereas its ablation brings to a global increase of H3K27me3 PRC2-associated mark in male germ cells with little consequences on male fertility.

Accurate transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II in a soluble extract from isolated mammalian nuclei
TL;DR: A procedure for preparing extracts from nuclei of human tissue culture cells that directs accurate transcription initiation in vitro from class II promoters, including tRNA and Ad 2 VA, is developed.

TL;DR: The Genomic Regions Enrichment of Annotations Tool (GREAT) is developed to analyze the functional significance of cis-regulatory regions identified by localized measurements of DNA binding events across an entire genome.
A gene complex controlling segmentation in Drosophila.
TL;DR: The wild-type and mutant segmentation patterns are consistent with an antero-posterior gradient in repressor concentration along the embryo and a proximo-distal gradient along the chromosome in the affinities for repressor of each gene's cis-regulatory element.
The Polycomb complex PRC2 and its mark in life
Raphaël Margueron,Danny Reinberg +1 more
TL;DR: This work has uncovered a role for non-coding RNA in the recruitment of PRC2 to target genes, and expanded the perspectives on its function and regulation.

TL;DR: It is shown that PcG proteins directly repress a large cohort of developmental regulators in murine ES cells, the expression of which would otherwise promote differentiation, and dynamic repression of developmental pathways by Polycomb complexes may be required for maintaining ES cell pluripotency and plasticity during embryonic development.
