Roles of transposable elements in the regulation of mammalian transcription
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 …

Cohesin and CTCF control the dynamics of chromosome folding
In mammals, interactions between sequences within topologically associating domains
enable control of gene expression across large genomic distances. Yet it is unknown how …

Dynamics of CTCF-and cohesin-mediated chromatin looping revealed by live-cell imaging
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 …

Region Capture Micro-C reveals coalescence of enhancers and promoters into nested microcompartments
Although enhancers are central regulators of mammalian gene expression, the mechanisms
underlying enhancer–promoter (EP) interactions remain unclear. Chromosome …

Enhancer–promoter interactions can bypass CTCF-mediated boundaries and contribute to phenotypic robustness
S Chakraborty, N Kopitchinski, Z Zuo, A Eraso… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
How enhancers activate their distal target promoters remains incompletely understood. Here
we dissect how CTCF-mediated loops facilitate and restrict such regulatory interactions …

Enhancer–promoter interactions and transcription are largely maintained upon acute loss of CTCF, cohesin, WAPL or YY1
It remains unclear why acute depletion of CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor) and cohesin only
marginally affects expression of most genes despite substantially perturbing three …
