An Igh distal enhancer modulates antigen receptor diversity by determining locus conformation

Here the authors show enhancers in the Igh locus play a major role in configuring locus architecture and in V(D)J recombination, and identify a link between enhancer hub formation, locus contraction and cohesin-mediated loop extrusion.
