We report a computational framework for biomaterial-induced cell lineage fate prediction, termed MeD-P. We demonstrate that MeD-P is an efficient and accurate strategy for stem cell lineage fate prediction and preliminary biomaterial functional evaluation.

Using multiple advanced epigenomic sequencing technologies, we report the celular heterogeneity on epigenome in early innate lymphoid progenitors which affects the downstream lineage differentiation. We show how key transcription factor TCF1 regulate the epigenomic heterogeneity and differentiation towards ILC progenitors.

We report a technique, termed single-cell micrococcal nuclease sequencing (scMNase-seq) that can be used to simultaneously measure genome-wide nucleosome positioning and chromatin accessibility in single cells. We reveal novel principles of nucleosome organization related to chromatin activity and report the existence of cells primed for differentiation to specific lineages in undifferentiated cell populations.

We report transposase-mediated analysis of chromatin looping (Trac-looping) for simultaneous detection of multiscale genome-wide chromatin interactions among regulatory elements and chromatin accessibility. Application of Trac-looping to human CD4+ T cells revealed substantial reorganization of enhancer-promoter interactions associated with changes in gene expression after T cell receptor stimulation.
