Transposable elements (TEs) comprise about half of the mammalian genome. TEs often contain sequences capable of recruiting the host transcription machinery, which they use to …
In mammals, interactions between sequences within topologically associating domains enable control of gene expression across large genomic distances. Yet it is unknown how …
Animal genomes are folded into loops and topologically associating domains (TADs) by CTCF and loop-extruding cohesins, but the live dynamics of loop formation and stability …

Genomic DNA is folded into loops and topologically associating domains (TADs), which serve important structural and regulatory roles. It has been proposed that these genomic …
Although enhancers are central regulators of mammalian gene expression, the mechanisms underlying enhancer–promoter (EP) interactions remain unclear. Chromosome …

Chromosome structure in mammals is thought to regulate transcription by modulating three- dimensional interactions between enhancers and promoters, notably through CTCF …

Understanding how chromatin is folded in the nucleus is fundamental to understanding its function. Although 3D genome organization has been historically difficult to study owing to a …
How enhancers activate their distal target promoters remains incompletely understood. Here we dissect how CTCF-mediated loops facilitate and restrict such regulatory interactions …
It remains unclear why acute depletion of CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor) and cohesin only marginally affects expression of most genes despite substantially perturbing three …
