Extrusion fountains are hallmarks of chromosome organization emerging upon zygotic genome activation

Aleksandra A. Galitsyna, Sergey V. Ulianov, Mariia Bazarevich, Nikolai S. Bykov, Marina Veil, Meijiang Gao, Kristina Perevoschikova, Mikhail Sergeevich Gelfand, Sergey V. Razin, Leonid A. Mirny, Daria Onichtchouk

The paper identifies 'fountains' as enhancer-specific chromosome organization elements emerging during zygotic genome activation in zebrafish and mouse.

Activator-blocker model of transcriptional regulation by pioneer-like factors

Aileen Julia Riesle, Meijiang Gao, Marcus Rosenblatt, Jacques Hermes, Helge Hass, Anna Gebhard, Marina Veil, Björn Andreas Grüning, Jens Timmer, Daria Onichtchouk

The paper investigates how Pou5f3 and Nanog regulate enhancer types during zygotic genome activation through an activator-blocker mechanism.
