title: Getting connected in the globin interactome.
abstract: A new study provides compelling evidence that transcriptional regulation and three-dimensional genomic architecture are linked. The alpha- and beta-globin loci associate with hundreds of active genes across the genome at transcription factories in erythroid cells, and specialized Klf1-containing transcription factories mediate the association of Klf1-regulated genes.
