X-inactivation escapee domains are CTCF-cohesin independent chromatin compartments

X-chromosome inactivation involves chromosome-wide gene silencing accompanied by extensive chromatin changes, as well the loss of topologically associating domains. Yet discrete regions of the inactive X chromosome retain activity within localised 3D domains, which contain active genes that variably escape from X inact...

An alignment-last approach enables rapid transcriptomic biomarker discovery in large cohorts

Simultaneous single-cell profiling of chromatin, transcriptome and surface markers with OneCell CUT&Tag captures epigenomic reprogramming.

This approach uncovers epigenomic priming of basal cells in the mammary gland and captures the dynamics of basal-to-luminal transdifferentiation, suggesting that epigenomic and transcriptional remodeling do not occur in complete synchrony during cell-fate conversion.
