Chromatin loop anchors are associated with genome instability in cancer and recombination hotspots in the germline.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Chromatin loops form a basic unit of interphase nuclear organization, with chromatin loop anchor points providing contacts between regulatory regions and promoters. However, the mutational landscape at these anchor points remains under-studied. Here, we describe the unusual patterns of somatic mutations and germline variation associated with loop anchor points and explore the underlying features...
