Movie 1: Movement of single nucleosomes in living human cells. The movie shows nucleosome fluctuations in euchromatin (left), where gene expression is active, and in heterochromatin (right), where ...
There are two types of chromatin, euchromatin and heterochromatin, that vary with the stages of the cell cycle. In particular, euchromatin with rich active genes localizes to the interior of the ...
Heterochromatin, sometimes known as the “dark side of the genome,” is a poorly studied fraction of DNA that makes up about half of our genetic material. For more than 50 years scientists have puzzled ...
In their paper the team discusses their novel view of euchromatin in the cell and shows how the revealed organization is relevant to genome functions. “Our ultimate goal is to reveal how genomic ...

Fred Hutch: Exit or not? HSV-1 infection redistributes heterochromatin to exit the nucleus
A recent study In Press at the Journal of Cell Biology reports that herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) exploits heterochromatin to successfully exit the nucleus. The heterochromatin markers macroH2A1 and ...
Despite great advances in technology over the last century, the physical characteristics of actively expressed chromatin, or euchromatin, remain a mystery. Recent research unveils that euchromatin is ...
