Acute BAF perturbation causes immediate changes in chromatin accessibility

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the dTAG system to induce acute degradation of BAF subunits and showed that chromatin alterations are established faster than the duration of one cell cycle using a pharmacological inhibitor and a chemical degrader of the BAF complex ATPase subunits.
