title: Glimpses of the epigenetic landscape.
abstract: In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Cui et al. (2009) provide snapshots of histone modification maps for two different stages of human blood cell development. Revealing chromatin-state maps in model cell types will provide an important framework in which to consider epigenetic controls at molecular and systematic levels.
