Extended Data Fig. 7

a, Representative track views show H3K27ac ChIP-seq enrichment for whole, adult human testis tissue and RNA-seq signal in human KIT+ and PS. Red highlights indicate enhancer-like MER57E3s that overlap high levels of H3K27ac deposition. b, Pie charts indicate the genomic distribution of enhancer-like MER57E3 loci in the human genome (hg38). Most enhancer-like MER57E3s are located within the first intronic regions of KRAB-ZF-encoding genes.
