Gene neighbourhood integrity disrupted by CTCF loss <i>in vivo</i>
2017-09-12
Abstract excerpt
The mammalian genome is coiled, compacted and compartmentalized into complex non-random three-dimensional chromatin loops in the nucleus 1–3 . At the core of chromatin loop formation is CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), also described as a “weaver of the genome” 45 . Anchored by CTCF, chromatin loops are proposed to form through a loop extrusion process 6 , organising themselves into gene neighbourhoods 2 that harb...
