High-resolution TADs reveal DNA sequences underlying genome organization in flies

Although topologically associating domains (TADs) have been extensively investigated, it is not clear to what extent DNA sequence contributes to their formation. Here the authors develop software to identify high-resolution TAD boundaries and reveal their relationship to underlying DNA motifs.
