Distinct structural transitions of chromatin topological domains correlate with coordinated hormone-induced gene regulation

…, D Soronellas, G Castellano, RHG Wright… - Genes & …, 2014 - genesdev.cshlp.org
The human genome is segmented into topologically associating domains (TADs), but the role
of this conserved organization during transient changes in gene expression is not known. …

ADP-ribose–derived nuclear ATP synthesis by NUDIX5 is required for chromatin remodeling

RHG Wright, A Lioutas, F Le Dily, D Soronellas, A Pohl… - Science, 2016 - science.org
Key nuclear processes in eukaryotes, including DNA replication, repair, and gene regulation,
