Abstract excerpt
Cell identity is controlled by regulatory elements, such as promoters, enhancers, and insulators, within the genome. These regulatory elements interact in the nucleus and form tissue-specific chromatin structures. Dysregulation of these elements and their interactions can lead to loss of cell identity and promote the development of diseases such as cancer. Tumor cells acquire aberrantly activated enhancers at...
