A scaling law of periodic radial geometry organises eukaryotic chromosomes

2026-05-06

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Chromatin alternates between active (A) and inactive (B) compartments along every eukaryotic chromosome, but whether this alternation itself carries a higher-order spatial organisation has not been examined. Here we identify a conserved periodic supra-compartment fold, with a wavelength approximately four times the mean A/B compartment domain-pair period (so that one supra-compartment c...
