Nuclear exosome targeting complexes modulate cohesin binding and enhancer-promoter interactions in 3D

Three-dimensional long-range contacts between enhancers and promoters are thought to be largely determined by loop extrusion driven by the cohesin complex and insulator factors. However, recent evidence also suggests a role for noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as enhancer-associated RNAs (eRNAs) and promoter upstream tran...
