Characterising open chromatin in chick embryos identifies cis-regulatory elements important for paraxial mesoderm formation and axis extension

How paraxial mesoderm formation and differentiation is regulated is unclear. Here, the authors identify accessible chromatin and gene expression signatures that define different stages of paraxial mesoderm development in the chick and identify CREs important for vertebrate anterior–posterior axis fo...
