Dynamic Organization of Chromatin Domains Revealed by Super-Resolution Live-Cell Imaging

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nucleosomes form compact domains with a peak diameter of ∼160 nm and move coherently in live cells and Notably, the domains during mitosis are observed, suggesting that they act as building blocks of chromosomes and may serve as information units throughout the cell cycle.

Human mitotic chromosomes consist predominantly of irregularly folded nucleosome fibres without a 30-nm chromatin structure

TL;DR: This comprehensive and quantitative study using cryo‐electron microscopy and synchrotron X‐ray scattering resolved the long‐standing contradictions regarding the existence of 30‐nm chromatin structures and detected no regular structure >11 nm, suggesting that the mitotic chromosome consists of irregularly arranged nucleosome fibres, with a fractal nature, which permits a more dynamic and flexible genome organization.
