Helness et al. show that GFI1/CHD4 complexes critically regulate chromatin accessibility and histone modifications to regulate target genes affecting diverse cellular processes in neutrophils. Their results provide further insight into the molecular network operated by GFI1 for neutrophil differentiation programs.
