Abstract excerpt
Chromosomes and genes are nonrandomly arranged within the mammalian cell nucleus. However, the functional significance of nuclear positioning in gene expression is unclear. Here we directly probed the relationship between nuclear positioning and gene activity by comparing the location of the active and inactive copies of a monoallelically expressed gene in single cell nuclei. We demonstrate that the...
