Transcription-induced supercoiling as the driving force of chromatin loop extrusion during formation of TADs in interphase chromosomes

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show here that growing plectonemes resulting from transcription-induced supercoiling have the ability to actively push cohesin rings along chromatin fibres. The pushing direction is such that within each topologically associating domain (TAD) cohesin rings fo...
