Nucleolus and nuclear periphery: velcro for heterochromatin
J Padeken, P Heun - Current opinion in cell biology, 2014 - Elsevier
Heterochromatin was first defined by Emil Heitz in 1928 by light microscopy. In the 1950s
electron microscopy studies revealed that heterochromatin preferentially localizes to the …
