 *Mikhail D. Magnitov, Michela Maresca, Noemí Alonso Saiz, Hans Teunissen, Jinhong Dong, Kizhakke M. Sathyan, Luca Braccioli, Michael J. Guertin, Elzo de Wit*. **ZNF143 is a transcriptional regulator of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes that acts independently of looping and CTCF** (2024).
 
-We have deposited scripts used to process and analyse sequencing and mass spectrometry data described in the pre-print. We have also provided extensive details on the re-analysis of publicly available data on ZNF143, which is an essential part of the manuscript.
