Micron-scale coherence in interphase chromatin dynamics

Open access

Abstract

Significance: Chromatin, the functional form of DNA inside the cell nucleus, has been heavily studied using biochemical and genetic methods, but we still know little about its large-scale organization and even less about its dynamics. We present a unique method, displacement correlation spectroscopy (DCS), which allows us to map interphase chromatin dynamics simultaneously across the entire nucleus and follow the temporal evolution of the global chromatin dynamics in vivo . Using DCS we discovered that chromatin moves coherently across micron-scale regions for a few seconds, which implies a transient mechanical coupling between chromatin on different chromosomes. This coupling might allow different regions of the nucleus to communicate by a unique, mechanochemical mechanism, e.g., to coordinate responses to DNA damage.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
