This paper integrates single-cell Hi-C, RNA-seq, and microscopy to uncover how hypertranscription shapes lampbrush chromosome structure through transcription-dependent chromatin organization.

This paper identifies the full spectrum of maternal RNAs transcribed by chicken lampbrush chromosomes, including protein-coding genes, long non-coding RNAs, and small non-coding RNAs, and shows their role in early embryogenesis.

The paper compares A/B compartment distribution in chicken somatic cells with chromatin domains in lampbrush chromosomes, finding that B compartments correspond to compact chromomeres with repressive marks.
