Hyperacetylated chromatin domains mark cell type-specific genes and suggest distinct modes of enhancer function

Super-enhancer are usually defined by high levels of chromatin modification and associate with cell-specific gene expression. Here, the authors define hyperacetylated chromatin domains (HCDs) by using histone hyperacetylation peak breadth information and show that HCDs associated more closely with c...
