Genome-wide search for Zelda-like chromatin signatures identifies GAF as a pioneer factor in early fly development

Abstract Background The protein Zelda was shown to play a key role in early Drosophila development, binding thousands of promoters and enhancers prior to maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), and marking them for transcriptional activation. Recently, we showed that Zelda acts through specific chroma...
