Clustered transposon insertion via formation of chromatin loops
2022-02-16
Abstract excerpt
Transposons, which are DNA sequences that can move to new positions in the genome, make up a large fraction of eukaryotic genomes and occur in clusters. The insertion of transposons into the genome is hindered by compact folding of chromatin, supposedly preventing aberrant or even pathogenic insertion. Chromatin can, however, be decompacted as a consequence of transposon insertion, leading to increased accessibili...
