Interchromosomal association and gene regulation in trans.

TLDR
Evidence is emerging that regulatory elements might have the capacity to act in trans to regulate genes on other chromosomes, but unequivocal data required to prove that interchromosomal gene regulation truly represents another level of control within the nucleus is lacking and this concept remains highly contentious.

Long-Range Directional Movement of an Interphase Chromosome Site Dependent on Actin and Nuclear Myosin

TL;DR: The results suggest an active mechanism for fast and directed long-range interphase chromosome movements dependent directly or indirectly on actin/myosin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topology of mammalian developmental enhancers and their regulatory landscapes

TL;DR: Recent research shows that high-order chromosome structures make an important contribution to enhancer functionality by triggering their physical interactions with target genes.

Polycomb-dependent regulatory contacts between distant Hox loci in Drosophila

TL;DR: It is shown that genes of the two Hox complexes can interact within nuclear PcG bodies in tissues where they are corepressed, resulting in the exacerbation of homeotic phenotypes in sensitized genetic backgrounds.

High-resolution profiling of histone methylations in the human genome.

TL;DR: High-resolution maps for the genome-wide distribution of 20 histone lysine and arginine methylations as well as histone variant H2A.Z, RNA polymerase II, and the insulator binding protein CTCF across the human genome using the Solexa 1G sequencing technology are generated.

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.

CTCF: Master Weaver of the Genome

TL;DR: It is suggested that CTCF may be a heritable component of an epigenetic system regulating the interplay between DNA methylation, higher-order chromatin structure, and lineage-specific gene expression.
