Stability and flexibility of epigenetic gene regulation in mammalian development

Summary

During development, cells start in a pluripotent state, from which they can differentiate into many cell types, and progressively develop a narrower potential, and their gene-expression programmes become more defined, restricted and, potentially, 'locked in'.
