The Mediator complex: a central integrator of transcription

TL;DR: Although Mediator exists in all eukaryotes, a variety of Mediator functions seem to be specific to metazoans, which is indicative of more diverse regulatory requirements.

Genome architecture: domain organization of interphase chromosomes

TL;DR: Together with microscopy and computational modeling, the results begin to yield a more coherent picture that integrates linear and three-dimensional views of chromosome organization in relation to gene regulation and other nuclear functions.

Capturing Chromosome Conformation

TL;DR: Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this work could confirm known qualitative features of chromosome organization within the nucleus and dynamic changes in that organization during meiosis and found that chromatin is highly flexible throughout.

Looping and interaction between hypersensitive sites in the active β-globin locus

TL;DR: It is proposed that clustering of regulatory elements is key to creating and maintaining active chromatin domains and regulating transcription.

Erythroid differentiation in chimaeric mice blocked by a targeted mutation in the gene for transcription factor GATA-1

TL;DR: The disruption of the X-linked GATA-1 gene by homologous recombination in a male (XY) murine embryonic stem cell line and testing the Gata-1-deficient cells for their ability to contribute to different tissues in chimaeric mice demonstrates that GATA, the zinc-finger transcription factor, is required for the normal differentiation of erythroid cells, and that other GATAS cannot compensate for its absence.

Cloning of cDNA for the major DNA-binding protein of the erythroid lineage through expression in mammalian cells

TL;DR: Genes expressed in erythroid cells contain binding sites for a cell-specific factor believed to be an important regulator for this haematopoietic lineage, and complementary DNA encoding the murine protein is identified using high-level transient expression in mammalian cells.

Long-range chromatin regulatory interactions in vivo

TL;DR: The development of a widely applicable in situ technique to tag and recover chromatin in the immediate vicinity of an actively transcribed gene and provide the first direct evidence of long-range enhancer communication is reported.
