Manipulation of nuclear architecture through CRISPR-mediated chromosomal looping

Chromatin looping plays an important role in gene regulation and the ability to manipulate loops would aid in understanding how this occurs. Here the authors present CLOuD9, a system that uses dimerized Cas9 complexes to selectively and reversibly establish chromatin loops.
