Abstract
Chromatin modifications are important for embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency, but their functions in adult stem cells are less clear. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Lien et al. (2011) delineate histone methylation patterns in hair follicle stem cells and show that these marks differ from those of ESCs.
