Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) spontaneously convert to multipotent adult spermatogonial-derived stem cells (MASCs). Here, the authors reveal the dynamics of bivalent histone H3-lysine4 and -lysine27 methylation signatures at somatic gene promoters in SSCs and ESC-like promoter chromatin states in MASCs.
