Evolutionarily distinct and sperm-specific supersized chromatin loops are marked by Helitron transposons in Xenopus tropicalis

Summary: Transposable elements (TEs) are abundant in metazoan genomes and have multifaceted effects on host fitness. However, the mechanisms underlying the functions of TEs are still not fully understood. Here, we combine Hi-C, ATAC-seq, and ChIP-seq assays to report the existence of multimegabase s...
