This movie-- sped up 10x from real time-- illustrates how regulator exchange brings us to a picture of cohesin as a multi-state motor complex, which only actively extrudes in a NIPBL co-bound state.

Planning our move away from Slack! Considering Discord or Zulip. Any pros/cons for either of those for us as a group working on open source software for biological data analysis?

This is a really interesting preprint the comprehensively studies how having dynamic CTCF boundaries effect 3D genome organization, demonstrating that residence time in addition to %occupancy has important regulatory functions:

Barrier dynamics thus leave distinct signatures even in static population averaged snapshots from genomic data!

One use of barriers with much more rapid exchange than cohesins might be to equalize contact frequencies across a large genomic locus, as suggested at PCDH by @LeaKiefer138 @SimonMJGaudin et al. See animation from the GitHub: github.com/Fudenberg-Researc…

News flash!

(17) So it’s not that complicated in the end: If you rely on an enhancer, you will need cohesin extrusion beyond ~18kb. UNLESS you have a promoter-proximal regulatory element that can synergize with your distal enhancer – which happens independently of cohesin.

How do specific communications arise in chromatin? Here we determine condensin’s loop extrusion properties in budding yeast and identify various types of roadblock. It makes a conditional loop that allows mating-type switching to take place. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
