Abstract

The recently discovered chromatin compartments called topologically associating domains (TADs) are essential for the three-dimensional organization of regulatory interactions driving gene expression. A new study documents the emergence of a TAD flanking the amphioxus Hox cluster, prefiguring the vertebrate anterior Hox TAD and preceding the appearance of the concurring posterior Hox TAD.
