Circular chromosome conformation capture (4C) uncovers extensive networks of epigenetically regulated intra-and interchromosomal interactions

TL;DR: It is found that the direct interaction between differentially methylated regions was linked to epigenetic regulation of transcription in trans and the patterns of interactions specific to the maternal H19 imprinting control region underwent reprogramming during in vitro maturation of embryonic stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

CTCF binding at the H19 imprinting control region mediates maternally inherited higher-order chromatin conformation to restrict enhancer access to Igf2

TL;DR: Systematic chromosome conformation capture analysis of an imprinting cluster reveals that CTCF has a critical role in the epigenetic regulation of higher-order chromatin structure and gene silencing over considerable distances in the genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonallelic transvection of multiple imprinted loci is organized by the H19 imprinting control region during germline development.

TL;DR: A network of physically juxtaposed regions from the entire genome with the common denominator of being genomically imprinted is identified, concluding that one locus can directly or indirectly influence epigenetic states of multiple regions on other chromosomes with which it interacts.
Journal ArticleDOI

CTCF-binding sites within the H19 ICR differentially regulate local chromatin structures and cis-acting functions

TL;DR: It is shown here that chromatin loop structures, impinging on CTCF-binding sites 1/2 and 3/4 at the 5′ and 3′-ends, within the maternal allele of the H19 imprinting control region (ICR), differ significantly.

Methods for analyzing interactions between at least two nucleic acid sequences

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method for analyzing an interaction between at least two nucleic acid sequences by binding them together by at least one site and then digesting the bound nucleic acids to generate cohesive ends.
