Chromatin compaction differences may have a strong impact on accessibility of individual macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies to their DNA target sites. Estimates based fluorescence microscopy with conventional resolution, however, suggest only modest (∼2-10×) between the active nuclear compartment (ANC) inactive (INC). Here, we present maps landscapes true-to-scale densities, ranging from <5 >300 Mbp/μm3. Maps are generated human mouse cell nuclei single-molecule localization at ∼20 nm lateral ∼100 axial optical resolution supplemented by electron spectroscopic imaging. Microinjection fluorescent nanobeads sizes corresponding for transcription into living cells demonstrates movements within ANC exclusion INC.

Animal genomes are organized into topologically associated domains (TADs). TADs thought to contribute gene regulation by facilitating enhancer-promoter (E-P) contacts within a TAD and preventing these across borders. However, the absolute difference in contact frequency boundaries is usually less than 2-fold, even though disruptions of borders can change expression 10-fold. Existing models fail explain this hypersensitive response. Here, we propose futile cycle model enhancer-mediated that exhibit hypersensitivity through bistability hysteresis. Consistent with recent experiments, does not strong correlation between E-P promoter activity, occurs contact. Through mathematical analysis stochastic simulation, show system create an illusion biochemical specificity importance weak boundaries. It also offers mechanism reconcile apparently contradictory results from global disruption local boundary deletion experiments. Together, analyses advance our understanding cis-regulatory controlling suggest new experimental directions.

Loop-extrusion and phase-separation have been proposed as mechanisms that shape chromosome spatial organization. It is unclear, however, how they perform relative to each other in explaining chromatin architecture data whether compete or co-exist at the single-molecule level. Here, we compare models of polymer physics based on loop-extrusion phase-separation, well where both act simultaneously a single molecule, against multiplexed FISH available human loci IMR90 HCT116 cells.

Single-molecule conformations are also captured, especially by better reflect experimentally reported segregation globules considered genomic their cell-to-cell structural variability. Such variability consistent with two main concurrent causes: single-cell epigenetic heterogeneity an intrinsic thermodynamic conformational degeneracy folding.

Nuclear DNA in eukaryotes is wrapped around histone proteins to form nucleosomes on a chromatin fiber.
