Happy to share our #BiochemSocTrans review: @EOberbeckmann and I discuss how in vitro reconstitution studies have contributed to our understanding of genome organisation and reflect on possible future applications. doi.org/10.1042/BST20230883

Genome organization across scales: mechanistic insights from in vitro reconstitution studies

Eukaryotic genomes are compacted and organized into distinct three-dimensional (3D) structures, which range from small-scale nucleosome arrays to large-scale chromatin domains. These chromatin...

Nature Genetics - Bottom-up in vitro reconstitution of ~10-kb chromatin domains shows that nucleosome positioning, rather than loop extrusion or transcription, determines domain formation in yeast.
