Three-dimensional genome organization and loop extrusion model. (A) The topological structures of the 3D genome are organized at four levels, comprising chromosome territories, A/B compartments, TAD, and chromatin loops. (B) DNA loop extrusion model. Cohesin binds to DNA and begins to extrude symmetrically until it encounters a convergent-oriented CTCF to form a chromatin loop.
