Measuring the three-dimensional structural properties of topologically associating domains
Genome topologically associating domains (TADs) are mega base pair (Mbp) sized genomic regions that may be the structural and functional units of the genome.

The role of epigenetic modifications, long-range contacts, enhancers and topologically associating domains in the regulation of glioma grade-specific genes [PDF]
Genome-wide studies have uncovered specific genetic alterations, transcriptomic patterns and epigenetic profiles associated with different glioma types. We have recently created a unique atlas encompassing genome-wide profiles of open chromatin, histone ...

Structural Fluctuations of the Chromatin Fiber within Topologically Associating Domains [PDF]
Experiments based on chromosome conformation capture have shown that mammalian genomes are partitioned into topologically associating domains (TADs), within which the chromatin fiber preferentially interacts.

Topologically associating domains define the impact of de novo promoter variants on autism spectrum disorder risk [PDF]
Summary: Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) studies of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have demonstrated the roles of rare promoter de novo variants (DNVs). However, most promoter DNVs in ASD are not located immediately upstream of known ASD genes.

Evolutionary stability of topologically associating domains is associated with conserved gene regulation [PDF]
Background The human genome is highly organized in the three-dimensional nucleus. Chromosomes fold locally into topologically associating domains (TADs) defined by increased intra-domain chromatin contacts.

Gene regulation during development in the light of topologically associating domains
During embryonic development, complex transcriptional programs govern the precision of gene expression. Many key developmental genes are regulated via cis-regulatory elements that are located far away in the linear genome.

Decoding topologically associating domains with ultra-low resolution Hi-C data by graph structural entropy [PDF]
Accurate detection of TADs requires ultra-deep sequencing and sophisticated normalisation procedures, which limits the analysis of Hi-C data. Here the authors develop a normalisation-free method to decode the domains of chromosomes (deDoc) that utilizes ...

Functional Similarities of Protein-Coding Genes in Topologically Associating Domains and Spatially-Proximate Genomic Regions. [PDF]
Topologically associating domains (TADs) are the structural and functional units of the genome. However, the functions of protein-coding genes existing in the same or different TADs have not been fully investigated.
