Hello 3D genome people! Did you know that C. elegans has a good looking cohesin but no CTCF? The newly graduated Dr. Jun Kim @JunKim51053763 decided to look at what cohesin does for the compact, 100 Mb worm genome, fitting ~20,000 genes: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Cohesin mediated loop extrusion from active enhancers form chromatin jets in C. elegans

In mammals, cohesin and CTCF organize the 3D genome into topologically associated domains (TADs) to regulate communication between cis-regulatory elements. However, many organisms, including S....
