The leukemic oncogene EVI1 hijacks a MYC super-enhancer by CTCF-facilitated loops

Chromosome rearrangements can be a cause of altered oncogene expression in cancer, such as a 3q26 translocation in some acute myeloid leukemias (AML) that leads to overexpression of EVI1. Here the authors engineer this rearrangement in a cell line and show that EVI1 overexpression is a result of ‘en...
