Abstract

Dynamic supercoiling is a steady-state mechanical regulatory mechanism that influences DNA topology, transcription factor binding, gene expression, chromatin structure and long-range chromosome interactions. How genes and nongene regions are organized into supercoiled domains and remodeled by transcriptional activity in human cells has now been analyzed in two large-scale studies at the chromosome and genome levels, providing new insight into the organization and expression of genes within chromosomes.
