Abstract

The three-dimensional folding of the genome has emerged as an important regulatory layer of transcription and is regarded as being pivotal for the establishment and faithful maintenance of cellular identity. The hierarchical levels of genome compaction and folding exert transcriptional control by tuning the accessibility and proximity of genes and cognate regulatory elements. Despite the identification of many factors involved in genome topology, the mechanisms that underlie the establishment of three-dimensional genome architecture and its inheritance through successive cell divisions have remained largely unknown. Here, we review current insights into the chromatin components and associated trans-acting factors that enable the genome to flexibly adopt different functionally relevant conformations.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 April 2017.
All research outputs
#3,288,498
of 25,658,139 outputs
Outputs from Genome Biology
#2,363
of 4,498 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,029
of 275,720 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Genome Biology
#40
of 71 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,658,139 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,498 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 27.5. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 275,720 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 71 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
