Abstract

In this article Lezmi et al. identified the chromatin regulator, ZMYM2, as a major epigenetic factor involved in human ESCs growth, and showed that its loss causes adverse transcriptional and epigenetic changes. ZMYM2-null ESCs overexpress naive pluripotency genes while losing their capacity to properly differentiate in vitro and form teratomas in vivo.
