Integration of ATAC- and RNA-sequencing identifies chromatin and transcriptomic signatures in classical and non-classical zebrafish osteoblasts and indicates mechanisms of <i>entpd5a</i> regulation

Two types of osteoblasts are required to assemble the zebrafish embryonic skeleton: classical osteoblasts homologous to the mammalian cell and notochord sheath cells which serve as non-classical osteoblasts. The gene entpd5a is critically required for ossification via both types of osteoblasts. Despite the indispensability of zebrafish models in vertebrate research, the genetic regulation of bone…
