Figure 1. Mechanisms structuring the genome.

Figure 1

A) Topologically Associating Domains (TADs).

B) (Top) High resolution Hi-C in Rowley et al reveals small compartmental domains at the boundaries of some TADs in Drosophila. (Bottom) Molecular underpinnings of TAD boundaries: cohesin associated CTCF-CTCF loops, and gene-gene interactions.

C) Model of genome structuring through phase separation of transcriptional activators and repressors.
