The paper shows that disrupting TAD boundaries in the Slc29a3/Unc5b locus causes tissue-specific transcriptional changes in multiple genes.

This study identifies chromosomal inversions in Aedes aegypti using Hi-C, revealing geographic distribution patterns and potential roles in host choice and disease transmission.

The paper deletes TAD boundaries at the Kit locus in mice and shows that this causes tissue-specific ectopic activation of a neighboring gene in melanocytes, leading to lighter coloration.

This study produces chromosome-level genome assemblies for Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis using long-read sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding, improving reference-quality genomes and enabling identification of chromosomal inversion breakpoints.

This paper presents a telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of Anopheles albimanus using advanced sequencing technologies, revealing novel telomeric repeats and previously uncharacterized genomic regions.

This study profiles 3D genome organization in five Anopheles mosquito species, identifying long-range looping interactions conserved over 100 million years and distinct from known chromatin mechanisms.
