Organization and function of the 3D genome
Abstract: Understanding how chromatin is organized within the nucleus and how this 3D architecture influences gene regulation, cell fate decisions and evolution are major questions in cell biology. Despite spectacular progress in this field, we still know remarkably little about the mechanisms underlying chromatin structure and how it can be established, reset and maintained. In this Review, we discuss the insights into chromatin architecture that have been gained through recent technological developments in quantitativ…

“…Interestingly, the tight relationship between transcriptional status in a region and organization near the nuclear speckles suggests that organization around the nuclear speckle is a highly dynamic and transcriptionally-dependent process. These results contrast with previous views of genome organization that were centered around chromosome territories, a structural feature that is invariant to changes in gene expression 16,24,28 . Together, these results lead to a new picture of genome organization where regions across chromosomes organize around specific nuclear bodies to shape the overall 3-dimensional organization of the nucleus in a highly regulated and dynamic manner (Figure 7).…”

“…Figure 5A summarizes the number of differential compartment bins that involve flips (A->B or B->A) or remained within the same compartment throughput the lineage transition. Consistent with the literature 2 , 5 , 49 , we showed that compartmental dynamics are strongly associated with the variability of gene expression and histone modifications (Fig. 5B ).…”

“…Previous work has shown that compartmental dynamics are strongly correlated with gene expression and histone modifications [2, 5, 45]. We observed similar trends within the significant differential compartments identified by dcHiC ( Figure 4D ).…”
