An alternative CTCF isoform antagonizes canonical CTCF occupancy and changes chromatin architecture to promote apoptosis
CTCF plays key roles in gene regulation, chromatin insulation and organizing the higher-order chromatin architecture of mammalian genomes. Here the authors investigate the function an alternatively spliced shorter CTCF isoform, finding that this isoform antagonizes canonical CTCF occupancy and chang...
