lncRNA and gene looping: what's the connection?

Recent functional studies have unveiled the significant role chromatin topology plays in gene regulation. Several lines of evidence suggest genes access necessary factors for transcription by forming chromatin loops. A clearer picture of the players involved in chromatin organization, including lncRNA, is emerging.
