Understanding chromatin organization requires integrating measurements of genome connectivity and physical structure. Prior work demonstrates that RAD21 depletion results in the complete loss of topologically associated and loop domains on Hi-C, but the corresponding change in physical structure has not been studied using electron microscopy. Pairing chromatin scanning transmission electron tomography with Hi-C, we study the role of cohesin in regulating the spatially resolved, conformationally defined chromatin packing domains. We find that only 20% of packing domains are lost on electron microscopy upon RAD21 depletion with the effect primarily on small, poorly packed (nascent) domains. Overall, this contrasts with the prevailing understanding of genome regulation, indicating that while cohesin influences domain formation, non-cohesin mediated mechanisms predominantly regulate the 3D genomic physical structure.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
