DNA looping in gene regulation: from the assembly of macromolecular complexes to the control of transcriptional noiseJose M G Vilar
Computational Biology Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, 307 East 63rd Street, New York, NY 10021, USA
Curr Opin Genet Dev 15:136-44. 2005..Recent developments indicate that DNA looping can also lead to the suppression of cell-to-cell variability, the control of transcriptional noise, and the activation of cooperative interactions on demand...
