The histone demethylase Jarid1b ensures faithful mouse development by protecting developmental genes from aberrant H3K4me3.

Embryonic development is tightly regulated by transcription factors and chromatin-associated proteins. H3K4me3 is associated with active transcription and H3K27me3 with gene repression, while the combination of both keeps genes required for development in a plastic state. Here we show that deletion...
