CTCF and cohesin promote focal detachment of DNA from the nuclear lamina

Abstract Background Lamina-associated domains (LADs) are large genomic regions that are positioned at the nuclear lamina. It has remained largely unclear what drives the positioning and demarcation of LADs. Because the insulator protein CTCF is enriched at LAD borders, it was postulated that CTCF bi...
