    Evidence of selection for an accessible nucleosomal array in human

    Recently, a physical model of nucleosome formation based on sequence-dependent bending properties of the DNA double-helix has been used to reveal some enrichment of nucleosome-inhibiting energy barriers (NIEBs...

    Perinuclear distribution of heterochromatin in develo** C. elegans embryos

    Specific nuclear domains are nonrandomly positioned within the nuclear space, and this preferential positioning has been shown to play an important role in genome activity and stability. Well-known examples in...

    Analysis of fine-scale mammalian evolutionary breakpoints provides new insight into their relation to genome organisation

    The Intergenic Breakage Model, which is the current model of structural genome evolution, considers that evolutionary rearrangement breakages happen with a uniform propensity along the genome but are selected ...

    Chromosome neighborhood composition determines translocation outcomes after exposure to high-dose radiation in primary cells

    Radiation exposure is an occupational hazard for military personnel, some health care professionals, airport security screeners, and medical patients, with some individuals at risk for acute, high-dose exposur...
