A 3D Map of the Human Genome at Kilobase Resolution Reveals Principles of Chromatin Looping

TL;DR: In situ Hi-C is used to probe the 3D architecture of genomes, constructing haploid and diploid maps of nine cell types, identifying ∼10,000 loops that frequently link promoters and enhancers, correlate with gene activation, and show conservation across cell types and species.

Topological domains in mammalian genomes identified by analysis of chromatin interactions

TL;DR: It is found that the boundaries of topological domains are enriched for the insulator binding protein CTCF, housekeeping genes, transfer RNAs and short interspersed element (SINE) retrotransposons, indicating that these factors may have a role in establishing the topological domain structure of the genome.

Formation of Chromosomal Domains by Loop Extrusion

TL;DR: This model produces TADs and finer-scale features of Hi-C data because each TAD emerges from multiple loops dynamically formed through extrusion, contrary to typical illustrations of single static loops.

Chromatin architecture reorganization during stem cell differentiation

TL;DR: Mapping genome-wide chromatin interactions in human embryonic stem cells and four human ES-cell-derived lineages reveals extensive chromatin reorganization during lineage specification, providing a global view of chromatin dynamics and a resource for studying long-range control of gene expression in distinct human cell lineages.

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.

Mapping and analysis of chromatin state dynamics in nine human cell types

TL;DR: This study presents a general framework for deciphering cis-regulatory connections and their roles in disease, and maps nine chromatin marks across nine cell types to systematically characterize regulatory elements, their cell-type specificities and their functional interactions.
