4D epigenomics: deciphering the coupling between genome folding and epigenomic regulation with biophysical modeling.

Curr Opin Genet Dev, 79:102033.

Recent experimental observations suggest a strong coupling between the 3D nuclearchromosome organization and epigenomics. However, the mechanistic and functionalbases of such interplay remain elusive. In this review, we describe howbiophysical modeling has been instrumental in characterizing how genome foldingmay impact the formation of epigenomic domains and, conversely, how epigenomicmarks may affect chromosome conformation. Finally, we discuss how this mutualfeedback loop between chromatin organization and epigenome regulation, via theformation of physicochemical nanoreactors, may represent a key functional role of3D compartmentalization in the assembly and maintenance of stable - but yetplastic - epigenomic landscapes.
