| Summary |
The contrast between the disruption of genome topology upon cohesin loss and the lack of downstream gene expression changes instigates intense debates regarding the structure-function relationship between genome and gene regulation. Here, by analyzing transcriptome at the single-cell level, we discover that, instead of dictating population-wide gene expression levels, cohesin supplies a general function to neutralize stochastic co-expression tendency of cis-linked genes in single cells. Notably, through single-cell RNA-seq profiling of genes in mouse embryonic stem cells, we found that cohesin loss induces widespread gene co-activation in cis. Our results support that cohesin arranges nuclear topology to control gene co-expression in single cells.

| Overall design |
JM8.N4 mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) from the C57BL/6N strain were edited by using CRISPR/Cas9 to fuse cohesin subunit RAD21 to the auxin-induced degron (AID) system. The derived cells were used in Smart-SCRB (Smart-Single Cell RNA Barcoding, a highly sensitive single-cell transcriptome assay) analysis and single-cell ATAC-seq analysis under control and acute cohesin loss (6hrs after the auxin treatment) conditions.
