Condensin Accelerates Long-Range Intra-Chromosomal Interactions.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The 3D genome organization plays a key role in regulating interactions among chromosomal loci. While Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C)-based methods have provided static snapshots of chromatin architecture, the kinetics of chromosomal encounters in live cells remain poorly characterized. In this study, we employ Chemically Induced Chromosomal Interaction (CICI) to measure encounter times between multiple loci pairs in G1-arrested budding yeast. Our results show that chromosome motion closely follows the Rouse polymer model, with similar diffusion parameters at all tested loci. Surprisingly, we find that long-range intra-chromosomal encounters occur significantly faster than inter-chromosomal encounters at similar 3D distances. Using targeted depletion experiments, we identify condensin, but not cohesin, as the complex responsible for these rapid intra-chromosomal interactions. This is further supported by Hi-C analysis, which reveals that condensin promotes long-distance intra-chromosomal interactions in G1 yeast. Through polymer simulations, we estimate that condensin extrudes chromatin at ~2 kb/s with a density of one complex per 1-2 Mb and a processivity of 120-220 kb. These findings uncover a novel role for condensin in shaping the interphase genome organization and provide new insights into chromosomal search dynamics
