Chromatin Conformation in Development and Disease
Chromatin domains and loops are important elements of chromatin structure and dynamics, but much remains to be learned about their exact biological role and nature.

The attachments of chromatin loops to the nucleoskeleton
It is widely assumed by cell biologists that chromatin is looped by attachment to some nuclear skeleton. 'Structural' attachments might be mediated through specific sequences; these would be attached in most cells in an organism, underlying the basic structure of the mitotic chromosome and persisting throughout interphase.

Non-specific interactions are sufficient to explain the position of heterochromatic chromocenters and nucleoli in interphase nuclei [PDF]
The organization of the eukaryote nucleus into functional compartments arises by self-organization both through specific protein–protein and protein–DNA interactions and non-specific interactions that lead to entropic effects, such as e.g.

Pharmacologic control of chromatin looping [PDF]
In this issue of Blood , [Krivega et al][1] establish a new method to reactivate fetal hemoglobin (HbF) production in adult human erythroid cells through pharmacologic manipulation of chromatin looping at the β-globin locus.[1][2] ![Figure][3] Different approaches to reactivate fetal γ-

Chromatin loops, gene positioning, and gene expression [PDF]
Technological developments and intense research over the last years have led to a better understanding of the 3D structure of the genome and its influence on genome function inside the cell nucleus. We will summarize topological studies performed on four model gene loci: the α- and β-globin gene loci, the antigen receptor loci, the imprinted H19-Igf2 ...

Histone methylation by PRC2 is inhibited by active chromatin marks [PDF]
Chromatin modifiers serve as regulatory switches that control the cell cycle, maintain pluripotency and drive differentiation and development. Positive feedback mechanisms help to pass on transcriptional information from one generation of cells to the ...

InferLoop: leveraging single-cell chromatin accessibility for the signal of chromatin loop
Abstract Deciphering cell-type-specific 3D structures of chromatin is challenging. Here, we present InferLoop, a novel method for inferring the strength of chromatin interaction using single-cell chromatin accessibility data. The workflow of InferLoop is, first, to conduct signal enhancement by grouping nearby cells into bins, and then ...
