preprint: Chromatin organization of social amoeba
Dictyostelium discoideum is a social amoeba famous for its pseudo-multicellularity: to multiply, its cells aggregate into fruiting body that produces spores. We call this fascinating organism simply as “Dicty”.
It turns out this organism has pretty unique genome organization into loops that coincide with the convergent genes positions.
We have recently finalized a preprint on studying three-dimensional genome organization of Dicty:
