Loop extrusion provides mechanical robustness to chromatin
Chromosomes are complex biopolymers folded into dynamic loops via a loop extrusion process and may experience various mechanical forces in vivo . We develop a force-dependent model of chromatin loop e...

If you are curious about how cohesin regulates chromosome contact dynamics and its role in enhancer-promoter communication, check out our latest work. It’s been really fun to work with @nesslfy.bsky.social and @lucagiorgetti.bsky.social. Hope you enjoy reading it!
Really excited to share our latest work led by @mattiaubertini.bsky.social and @nesslfy.bsky.social: we report that cohesin loop extrusion creates rare but long-lived encounters between genomic sequences which underlie efficient enhancer-promoter communication.

New preprint with @gfudenberg.bsky.social

We find the rate of cohesin loop extrusion in cells is set by NIPBL dosage and tunes many aspects of chromosome folding.

This provides a molecular basis for NIPBL haploinsufficiency in humans. 🧵👇

NIPBL dosage shapes genome folding by tuning the rate of cohesin loop extrusion
Cohesin loop extrusion is a major driver of chromosome folding, but how its dynamics are controlled to shape the genome remains elusive. Here we disentangle the contributions of the cohesin cofactors ...
