The 3D genome shapes up for pluripotency

Cell Stem Cell. 2013 Jul 3;13(1):3-4. doi: 10.1016/j.stem.2013.06.013.

Abstract

Chromosome folding has been long associated with gene expression. Articles in Cell Stem Cell and Cell by Apostolou et al., (2013), Phillips-Cremins et al., (2013), Wei et al., (2013), and Zhang et al., (2013) uncover chromatin interaction networks linked to the establishment or maintenance of pluripotency and identify some responsible factors.
