This study identifies the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms governing ERFE expression in human erythroblasts using genomic approaches.

The study identifies two enhancer elements that maintain En1 expression during later limb development and shows that misexpression timing leads to distinct phenotypes.

This study identifies a mutation in SMCHD1 that enhances gene silencing and disrupts developmental processes, revealing distinct roles of SMCHD1 in chromatin structure and gene regulation.

This study shows maternal SMCHD1 prevents premature Hox gene activation in mouse embryos, leading to posterior homeotic transformations when absent.
