Epigenome editing strategies for the functional annotation of CTCF insulators
The human genome is folded into regulatory units termed ‘topologically-associated domains’ (TADs). Genome-wide studies support a global role for the insulator protein CTCF in mediating chromosomal looping and the topological constraint of TAD boundaries. However, the impact of individual insulators on enhancer-gene interactions and transcription remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate epigenome editing strategies for … Continued
