The 3D genome in transcriptional regulation and pluripotency

Abstract

It can be convenient to think of the genome as simply a string of nucleotides, the linear order of which encodes an organism's genetic blueprint. However, the genome does not exist as a linear entity within cells where this blueprint is actually utilized. Inside the nucleus, the genome is organized in three-dimensional (3D) space, and lineage-specific transcriptional programs that direct stem cell fate are implemented in this native 3D context. Here, we review principles of 3D genome organization in mammalian cells. We focus on the emerging relationship between genome organization and lineage-specific transcriptional regulation, which we argue are inextricably linked.

  • Spatial organization of chromatin, including long-range DNA interactions, plays a key role in controlling gene expression and maintaining cellular identity.

    “The spatial organization of chromatin, including a variety of long-range DNA interactions, plays a key role in controlling gene expression and maintaining cellular identity (Gorkin et al., 2014; Kundu et al., 2017; Narendra et al., 2015; Schoenfelder et al., 2015; Zirkel et al., 2018).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
