Abstract
Imaging studies, high-resolution chromatin conformation maps, and genome-wide occupancy data of architectural proteins have revealed that genome topology is tightly intertwined with gene expression. Cross-talk between gene-regulatory elements is often organized within insulated neighborhoods, and regulatory cues that induce transcriptional changes can reshape chromatin folding patterns and gene positioning within the nucleus. The cause-consequence relationship of genome architecture and gene expression is intricate, and its molecular mechanisms are under intense investigation. Here, we review the interdependency of transcription and genome organization with emphasis on enhancer-promoter contacts in gene regulation.
