Deskripsi
CTCF is as an architectural protein involved in 3D genome folding; however its contribution to animal development has not been well characterized. Here the authors show that CTCF is not only pivotal for 3D chromatin structure and enhancer-promoter interactions in zebrafish, but it is also essential for controlling the expression of thousands of genes during development.
