Popis: A large proportion of the metazoan genome is spatially segregated at the nuclear periphery through genomic contacts with the nuclear lamina, a thin meshwork of lamin filaments that lines the inner-nuclear membrane. Lamina-associated domains are believed to contribute to the regulation of gene transcription and to provide structural three-dimensional support to the organization of the genome in A and B compartments and topologically associating domains. In this review, we will evaluate recent work addressing the role of lamina-associated domains in three-dimensional genome organization and propose experimental frameworks that may expand our understanding of their interdependence.
