## Abstract In the interphase nucleus of metazoan cells the DNA is organized in supercoiled loops anchored to a proteinaceous substructure known as the nuclear matrix (NM). The DNA is anchored to the NM by means of nonβcoding sequences of variable length known as matrix attachment regions or MARs o

## Abstract Metaphase chromosomes of Chinese hamster and lampbrush chromosomes of __Triturus viridescens__ were studied for DNA arrangement by polarized fluorescence microscopy and by linear dichroic ratio measurements. Intact chromosomes showed a small but negative polarization (β8%) of fluorescen
The affinity of a DNA sequence for the histone octamer in a core nucleosome depends on the intrinsic flexibility of the DNA. This parameter can be affected both by the sequence-dependent conformational preferences of individual base steps and by the nature and location of the exocyclic groups of the
The organization of DNA within the nucleus has been demonstrated to be both cell and tissue specific and is arranged in a non-random fashion in both sperm and somatic cells. Nuclear structure has a pivotal role in this three-dimensional organization of DNA and RNA and contributes as well to forming
