Genome folding through loop extrusion by SMC complexes
IF Davidson, JM Peters - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2021 - nature.com
Genomic DNA is folded into loops and topologically associating domains (TADs), which
serve important structural and regulatory roles. It has been proposed that these genomic …

Topologically associating domains and chromatin loops depend on cohesin and are regulated by CTCF, WAPL, and PDS5 proteins
Mammalian genomes are spatially organized into compartments, topologically associating
domains (TADs), and loops to facilitate gene regulation and other chromosomal functions …
