TCC in pluripotent and differentiated cells
Regulation of gene expression underlies the establishment and maintenance of cell identity.  Chromatin structure and gene activity are linked. Recently CTCF anchored loops have been described  as major features of chromatin organisation. However, the dynamics and role for these structures  in differentiation is unknown. We used Tethered Chromatin Conformation Capture (TCC) to assess for the dynamics of CTCF-anchor loop formation upon differentiation of mouse  embryonic stem cells (ESC) and neural stem cells (NSC).
