The combined action of CTCF and its testis-specific paralog BORIS is essential for spermatogenesis

The combined action of CTCF and its testis-specific paralog BORIS is essential for spermatogenesis

Although CTCF is a well-established 3D chromatin organizer in multicellular eukaryotes, relatively little is known about its male germ cell-specific paralogue, BORIS. Here the authors investigate how CTCF and BORIS interact and compensate in the male germline of mice to ensure appropriate activation...
