Neural crest induction requires SALL4-mediated BAF recruitment to lineage specific enhancers

Martina Demurtas, Samantha M. Barnada, Emma van Domselaar, Zoe H. Mitchell, Laura Deelen, Marco Trizzino

This study shows SALL4 recruits BAF to CNCC-specific enhancers for neural crest induction, and SALL4A is essential for this process.
