An important question in the context of the three-dimensional organization of chromosomes is the mechanism of formation of large loops between distant basepairs. Recent experiments suggest that the formation of loops might be mediated by loop extrusion factor proteins such as cohesin. Experiments on cohesin have shown that cohesins walk diffusively on the DNA and that nucleosomes act as obstacles to the diffusion, lowering the permeability and hence reducing the effective diffusion constant. An estimation of the times required to fo
