Cohesin prevents local mixing of condensed euchromatic domains in living human cells - Nature

Single-nucleosome imaging/tracking and super-resolution three-dimensional structured illumination microscopy within euchromatic regions show that cohesin-mediated loops constrain condensed euchromatic domains. Cohesin loss increases their fluidity without aff…
