“…Among the broad H3K4me3 domain-associated genes, we identified 139, 139, and 184 transcription factors (TFs) in TSCs, STs, and EVTs, respectively (Supplementary Table 3 ). These TFs included almost all of the previously reported human trophoblast regulators, including GATA2 33 , GATA3 34 , GCM1 35 , ASCL2 32 , MSX2 36 , TBX3 31 , EP300 37 , ELF3 38 , BHLHE40 39 , HIF1a 40 , TEAD4 30 , TWIST 41 as well as numerous uncharacterized TFs in human trophoblasts. These findings indicate that broad H3K4me3 can serve as a valuable tool for identifying novel trophoblast lineage-specific TFs.…”
