The ability to predict epigenetic regulation is an important challenge in biology. Here the authors describe heterochromatin nanodomains (HNDs) and compare four different types of H3K9me2/3-marked HNDs in mouse embryonic stem cells. They further develop a computational framework to predict genome-wide HND maps from DNA sequence and protein concentrations, at single-nucleotide resolution.
