Supplementary Figure 1: Gradual fusion upon progressive CTCF site deletion.

(A) cHiC chromatin interactions from wildtype and mutant E12.5 mouse embryonic limb buds (n=1). CTCF ChIP-seq with binding site orientation (red/blue) at the boundary and intra-TAD are highlighted. Two-headed arrow indicates two significant motifs (FIMO, p<10-4) underlying the ChIP-seq peak. Virtual 4C from Kcnj2 (blue) and Sox9 (orange) below each map. Progressive deletion of CTCF sites causes progressively increasing interaction between Sox9- and Kcnj-TADs (B) Subtraction maps for the same region show increases (red) and decreases (blue) in interactions upon deletion of additional intra-TAD CTCF-sites.
