  eLife Assessment

  This important study combines an innovative experimental approach with mathematical modeling to demonstrate that genes separated by strong topological boundaries can exhibit coordinated transcriptional bursting, providing new insights into how regulatory information is transmitted across the genome. The evidence is solid within the studied locus, but the interpretation and generality of the findings would be strengthened by additional validation using simulated data and broader application beyond a single genomic region. This work will be of interest to cell biologists and biophysicists working on transcription and chromatin.
