Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of Chromosomal Domains by Loop Extrusion

TL;DR: This model produces TADs and finer-scale features of Hi-C data because each TAD emerges from multiple loops dynamically formed through extrusion, contrary to typical illustrations of single static loops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein complexes and functional modules in molecular networks

TL;DR: The results provide strong support for the network modularity principle introduced by Hartwell et al. (1999), suggesting that found modules constitute the “building blocks” of molecular networks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted Degradation of CTCF Decouples Local Insulation of Chromosome Domains from Genomic Compartmentalization.

TL;DR: The data support that CTCF mediates transcriptional insulator function through enhancer blocking but not as a direct barrier to heterochromatin spreading, and provides new fundamental insights into the rules governing mammalian genome organization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iterative correction of Hi-C data reveals hallmarks of chromosome organization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a pipeline that integrates a strategy for mapping of sequencing reads and a data-driven method for iterative correction of biases, yielding genome-wide maps of relative contact probabilities.
