Title:	Jumping retroviruses nudge TADs apart
Creators Name:	Robson, M.I. and Mundlos, S.
Abstract:	Far from being junk DNA, the pervasive retrotransposons that populate the genome have a powerful capacity to influence genes and chromatin. A new study demonstrates how the transcription of one such element, HERV-H, can modify the higher-order 3D structure of chromatin during early primate development.
