Chromatin looping allows for enhancer–promoter interactions that regulate transcription. Here the authors show that activation of embryonic myogenesis is associated with establishment of long-range chromatin interactions centred on Pax3-bound loci and find that Ldb1 functions as the mediator of looping interactions at a subset of Pax3 binding sites.
