Cis-regulatory chromatin loops arise before TADs and gene activation, and are independent of cell fate during early Drosophila development
Acquisition of cell fate is thought to rely on the specific interaction of remote cis-regulatory
modules (CRMs), for example, enhancers and target promoters. However, the precise …
