Transcription shapes 3D chromatin organization by interacting with loop extrusion

…, AA van den Berg, RR Stocsits… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Cohesin folds mammalian interphase chromosomes by extruding the chromatin fiber into
numerous loops. “Loop extrusion” can be impeded by chromatin-bound factors, such as CTCF, …

[PDF][PDF] Cohesin-dependent and-independent mechanisms mediate chromosomal contacts between promoters and enhancers
