The paper identifies SDC-3 as an adaptor for condensin IDC recruitment to X chromosomes in C. elegans and shows its role in dosage compensation through loop-extrusion activity.

This study shows that condensin complexes use opposing ATPase sites to drive and dampen chromosome condensation, with condensin II playing a key role in decatenation and axis formation.

This study shows that deleting Ncaph2 in mouse hepatocytes does not alter chromatin folding or gene expression, suggesting condensin II's role in interphase may be limited.

This study shows condensin affects RNA levels by causing chromosome missegregation, not by directly regulating transcription.

This study shows that cohesin removal leads to loss of TADs and loops but preserves compartments, revealing two independent modes of chromosome organization.
