Chromatin Condensates: Nucleosomes and Linker DNA (movie) (VIDEO)

Marine Biological Laboratory

Caption

Chromatin Condensates: This video shows how the length of linker DNA connecting the nucleosomes affects how the structures are arranged, which in turn affects the interactions between chromatin fibers and the network structure of the condensates. These physical features helped explain why some chromatin fibers undergo phase separation better than others and why condensates formed by different kinds of chromatin have different material properties.
