Journal ArticleDOI

R-loop formation is a distinctive characteristic of unmethylated human CpG island promoters

TL;DR: It is reported that methylation-resistant CGI promoters are characterized by significant strand asymmetry in the distribution of guanines and cytosines immediately downstream from their transcription start sites, and it is shown that transcription through regions of GC skew leads to the formation of long R loop structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Competition between DNA methylation and transcription factors determines binding of NRF1

TL;DR: This map of DNase-I-hypersensitive sites in murine stem cells reveals a case of cooperativity between TFs that acts indirectly via DNA methylation, and suggests that binding of DNA-methylation-sensitive TFs relies on additional determinants to induce local hypomethylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalent, Dynamic, and Conserved R-Loop Structures Associate with Specific Epigenomic Signatures in Mammals

TL;DR: It is suggested that the retention of nascent RNA transcripts at their site of expression represents an abundant, dynamic, and programmed component of the mammalian chromatin that affects chromatin patterning and the control of gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

GC skew at the 5′ and 3′ ends of human genes links R-loop formation to epigenetic regulation and transcription termination

TL;DR: It is shown that GC skew can distinguish four classes of promoters, including three types of CGI promoters, each associated with unique epigenetic and gene ontology signatures, and that nearly 2000 genes harbor GC skew at their 3' ends and that these genes are preferentially located in gene-dense regions and tend to be closely arranged.
