Cell fate decisions in the early embryo rely on reciprocal transcriptional networks that balance pluripotency with lineage commitment. NANOG is essential for directing the epiblast-primitive endoderm (PrE) fate choice, but the molecular mechanisms underlying its repressive activity remain incompletely understood. Here we show that NANOG partners with TBX3 and the PRC2 complex to maintain embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity by silencing PrE genes through newly identified distal enhancers. Loss of Nanog reduces PRC2-mediated repression of Gata6, initiating its expression independently of TBX3. Subsequent TBX3 upregulation enables its association with GATA6, driving a feed-forward programme that activates Gata6, Gata4 and Sox17 and promotes PrE differentiation. Thus, NANOG suppresses PrE fate not only by direct repression but also by preventing TBX3 from switching partners. These findings define a Nanog-Tbx3-Gata6 regulatory axis that integrates enhancer control, chromatin regulation and transcription factor redeployment to couple ESC maintenance with lineage commitment.

Set of software modules for performing common ChIP-seq data analysis tasks across the whole genome, including positional correlation analysis, peak detection, and genome partitioning into signal-rich and signal-poor regions. The tools are designed to be simple, fast and highly modular. Each program carries out a well defined data processing procedure that can potentially fit into a pipeline framework. ChIP-Seq is also freely available on a Web interface.
View all literature mentionsOriginal SAMTOOLS package has been split into three separate repositories including Samtools, BCFtools and HTSlib. Samtools for manipulating next generation sequencing data used for reading, writing, editing, indexing,viewing nucleotide alignments in SAM,BAM,CRAM format. BCFtools used for reading, writing BCF2,VCF, gVCF files and calling, filtering, summarising SNP and short indel sequence variants. HTSlib used for reading, writing high throughput sequencing data.
View all literature mentionsA powerful toolset for genome arithmetic allowing one to address common genomics tasks such as finding feature overlaps and computing coverage. Bedtools allows one to intersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF. While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task (e.g., intersect two interval files), quite sophisticated analyses can be conducted by combining multiple bedtools operations on the UNIX command line.
