Super-resolution visualization and modeling of human chromosomal regions reveals cohesin-dependent loop structures
Abstract Background The 3D organization of the chromatin fiber in cell nuclei plays a key role in the regulation of gene expression. Genome-wide techniques to score DNA-DNA contacts, such as Hi-C, reveal the partitioning of chromosomes into epigenetically defined active and repressed compartments an...
