Abstract excerpt
The cohesin protein complex is best known for its role in sister chromatid cohesion, which is crucial for accurate chromosome segregation. Mutations in cohesin proteins or their regulators have been associated with human diseases (termed cohesinopathies). The developmental defects observed in these diseases indicate a role for cohesin in gene regulation distinct from its role in chromosome segregation. In...
