The paper consititutes a resource of 868 million mapped sequencing reads of high quality ChIP profiles of ES cells, in addition to whole cell and chromatin-associated proteomes.

We used null mutations PRC2 and PRC1 in combination with EED inhibition, to quantify contributions to Polycomb binding across the genome
Some of our findings:
3/
PRC2.1 binding to DNA by MTF2, PRC2.2 recruitment through JARID2-H2Aub-PRC1, both stabilized by EED interaction with H3K27me3

The JARID2 and EED-mediated interactions are partially redundant

PRC1, PRC2.1, and PRC2.2 are all mutually interdependent for binding to chromatin

4/
Unique to our paper is chemical inhibition of EED in combination with Mtf2, Jarid2 and Ring1a/b null mutations

This uncovers some unexpected functional interactions
For example, the loss of JARID2 results in a much more dramatic loss of PRC2 binding when EED is also inhibited

Good to see the work now published
It's open access. I hope it will be read and that people will make good use of the data

Great work by @MatteoPerino_ @GuidoMierlo and other colleagues in collaboration with @hendrik_marks @Radboud_Uni
