Unique territorial and compartmental organization of chromosomes in the holocentric silkworm

The paper discovers a novel chromatin folding structure, compartment S, in the silkworm Bombyx mori using Hi-C, showing unique loop extrusion and contact patterns.

Heterochromatin diversity modulates genome compartmentalization and loop extrusion barriers

The paper identifies three inactive chromatin states in HCT116 cells and shows how H3K9me3-HP1/β heterochromatin influences genome compartmentalization and loop extrusion barriers through DNA methylation.

An international scholastic network to generate LexA enhancer-trap lines for Drosophila
