Identification of SEMA3A, a loss-of-EZH2-mediated silencing gene in leukemia. A) The seq2gene strategy links genomic regions to coding genes with annotation. B) For both cell lines, more than 90% of the EZH2 and H3K27me3 co-binding regions are linked to intergenic coding and non-coding genes (red arc and box), 31% of which are coding-genes. C) Leukemic and lymphoblastic cell-specific EZH2 and H3K27me target genes. D) SEMA3A loses EZH2-silencing in leukemia but with EZH2-dependent expression changes in two independent experiments (the white circles). The gray circle represents 1624 predicted co-binding sites specific to lymphoblastoids identified in panel C.
