Unique territorial and compartmental organization of chromosomes in the holocentric silkworm - The EMBO Journal

Hallmarks of multicellular eukaryotic genome organization are chromosome territories, compartments, and loop-extrusion-mediated structures, including TADs. However, these have mainly been observed in ...

Have you wondered how the rules of chromatin folding have evolved? Well, this task is not easy to formalize. But here is our take on it: train species-specific DNA-to-chromatin encoder, apply to DNA of unseen species, and build chromatin rules-based tree of life. Have a look: doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

Happy to share that my postdoc work with @jobdekker.bsky.social is out! rdcu.be/eWHD2 We characterize interphase chromatin folding programs with distinct modes of mitotic inheritance and identify the chromosome-intrinsic capacity to form a microcompartment of active CREs during mitotic exit.

Interphase chromosome conformation is specified by distinct folding programmes inherited through mitotic chromosomes or the cytoplasm

Nature Cell Biology - Schooley et al. find that mitotically bookmarked loci drive a transient chromosome folding state during G1 entry that is subsequently modulated by factors inherited through...
