Is euchromatin really open in the cell?
Genomic DNA is wrapped around a core histone octamer and forms a nucleosome. In
higher eukaryotic cells, strings of nucleosomes are irregularly folded as chromatin domains …

Condensed but liquid-like domain organization of active chromatin regions in living human cells
In eukaryotes, higher-order chromatin organization is spatiotemporally regulated as
domains, for various cellular functions. However, their physical nature in living cells remains …

Condensed chromatin behaves like a solid on the mesoscale in vitro and in living cells
The association of nuclear DNA with histones to form chromatin is essential for temporal and
spatial control of eukaryotic genomes. In this study, we examined the physical state of …

[HTML][HTML] Chromatin fibers are formed by heterogeneous groups of nucleosomes in vivo
Nucleosomes help structure chromosomes by compacting DNA into fibers. To gain insight
into how nucleosomes are arranged in vivo, we combined quantitative super-resolution …

Organization of the mitotic chromosome
Mitotic chromosomes are among the most recognizable structures in the cell, yet for over a
century their internal organization remains largely unsolved. We applied chromosome …

Single nucleosome imaging reveals loose genome chromatin networks via active RNA polymerase II
Although chromatin organization and dynamics play a critical role in gene transcription, how
they interplay remains unclear. To approach this issue, we investigated genome-wide …
