The various models of chromatin fiber folding that have been proposed over the years are considered and evaluated. It is concluded that the radial loop/scafold model is strongly supported by the available evidence, although the term 'scafold' may be an unfortunate one. The scafold is not a solid rod
A hallmark feature of mitosis is the extinction of bulk cellular transcription. The mechanism by which transcription is abrogated is likely linked to mitotic specific events such as chromosome condensation. Recent studies 1,2 that probe the structure of genes that can be reactivated rapidly after mi
