Of Dots and Stripes: The Morse Code of Micro-C Reveals the Ultrastructure of Transcriptional and Architectural Mammalian 3D Genome Organization.

Using Micro-C, Hsieh et al. (2020) and Krietenstein et al. (2020) investigated 3D chromatin folding in human and mouse cells at unprecedented resolution to uncover ultra-fine-scale chromatin structures that provide direct links between genome architecture, gene expression, and gene regulation.
