New chromatin tracing method reveals diverse heterochromatin domains
Original: Single-molecule chromatin tracing reveals a diversity of megabase heterochromatin domains
Researchers report in Nature a single-molecule chromatin tracing technique that maps genome folding directly in single cells. The method reveals a surprising diversity of megabase-scale heterochromatin domains, challenging the view of heterochromatin as a uniform, repetitive compartment. Scientists following the study say the findings refine how chromatin organisation is understood and may affect research into gene regulation and genome stability.
Why now: The publication of a new imaging-based study in Nature is drawing attention for challenging assumptions about heterochromatin structure.
