Dynamic spreading of chromatin-mediated gene silencing and reactivation between neighboring genes in single cells

In mammalian cells genes that are in close proximity can be transcriptionally coupled: silencing or activating one gene can affect its neighbors. Understanding these dynamics is important for natural processes, such as heterochromatin spreading during development and aging, and when designing synthe...
