KDM5B focuses H3K4 methylation near promoters and enhancers during embryonic stem cell self-renewal and differentiation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:It has been hypothesized that rapid divergence in centromere sequences accompanies rapid karyotypic change during speciation. However, the reuse of breakpoints coincident with centromeres in the evolution of divergent karyotypes poses a potential paradox. In distantly related species where the same centromer...
