A simple biophysical model emulates budding yeast chromosome condensation

A simple biophysical model emulates budding yeast chromosome condensation

Mitotic chromosomes were one of the first cell biological structures to be described, yet their molecular architecture remains poorly understood. We have devised a simple biophysical model of a 300 kb-long nucleosome chain, the size of a budding yeast chromosome, constrained by interactions between...
