Shaping the Pluripotent Genome: Switches, Borders, and Loops

Cell Stem Cell. 2018 Feb 1;22(2):148-150. doi: 10.1016/j.stem.2018.01.005.

Abstract

Three-dimensional genome organization is largely cell type specific and requires reorganization during cell fate transitions. A recent study in Nature Genetics (Stadhouders et al., 2018) offers important insights into the principles and drivers of such reorganization during reprogramming of somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells.
