  "summary": "The role of epigenetic modifiers in astrogenesis is less understood compared to neurogenesis. For example, the Disruptor of telomeric silencing 1 like, DOT1L, conferring H3K79 methylation safeguards neural progenitors from premature differentiation in various brain regions, however, its role in astrogenesis has not yet been reported. Here, we decipher its role during astrogenesis using an…",
