Abstract
In this issue, Jiang et al. introduce a proteomic method called LoopID and show that JMJD2 demethylases have a non-catalytic role in promoting enhancer–promoter looping in mouse embryonic stem cells. This function is mediated by their intrinsically disordered domains, suggesting a condensate-based mechanism.
期刊介绍:
Nature Genetics publishes the very highest quality research in genetics. It encompasses genetic and functional genomic studies on human and plant traits and on other model organisms. Current emphasis is on the genetic basis for common and complex diseases and on the functional mechanism, architecture and evolution of gene networks, studied by experimental perturbation.
Integrative genetic topics comprise, but are not limited to:
-Genes in the pathology of human disease
-Molecular analysis of simple and complex genetic traits
-Cancer genetics
-Agricultural genomics
-Developmental genetics
-Regulatory variation in gene expression
-Strategies and technologies for extracting function from genomic data
-Pharmacological genomics
-Genome evolution
