Title	Establishing Chromatin Regulatory Landscape during Mouse Preimplantation Development
Description	Upon fertilization, parental chromatin undergoes extensive reprogramming to generate the highly dynamic chromatin of the inner cell mass (ICM) cells from which an organism is derived. How the chromatin regulatory landscape is established during this process has remained a mystery due to the technical difficulties in chromatin analysis using limited cell numbers. Using a low-input DNase I sequencing (liDNase-seq) method, we generated DNase I-hypersensitive site (DHS) maps of mouse preimplantation embryos. We found that the DHSs are progressively established during development, with Oct4 contributing to a drastic gain of DHSs at the 8-cell stage. In addition, single nucleotide polymorphism analysis revealed that imprinted gene promoters harbor allele-specific DHSs before the onset of allelic gene expression. Furthermore, Nfya is required for 2-cell promoter DHS formation and zygotic genome activation. Thus, our study not only reveals chromatin regulatory landscapes, but also identifies key transcription factors important for DHS establishment in mammalian embryos.
