Epigenome editing strategies for the functional annotation of CTCF insulators

The role of CTCF-bound insulator elements in enhancer-gene interactions and transcriptional regulation remains poorly understood. Here, the authors investigate multiple epigenome editing strategies for perturbing individual CTCF-bound insulators, and evaluate their effects on genome topology and tra...
