Loop extrusion is one of the main processes shaping chromosome organization across the cell cycle, yet its role in regulating deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) entanglement and nucleoplasm viscoelasticity remains overlooked. We simulate entangled solutions

Phase separation has been suggested as a mechanism for heterochromatin formation through condensation of heterochromatin-associated factors. Here the authors show Polycomb complex PRC1 forms condensates on chromatin. Using optogenetic tools they nucl

Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) is a two-dimensional Olympic-ring-like network of mutually linked DNA minicircles found in certain parasites called trypanosomes. Understanding the self-assembly and replication of this structure are not only major open questio

Abstract Chromosome organisation is increasingly recognised as an essential component of genome regulation, cell fate and cell health. Within the realm of transposable elements (TEs) however, the spatial information of how genomes are folded is still

The study and the investigation of structural and dynamical properties of complex systems have attracted considerable interest among scientists in general and physicists and biologists in particular. The present review paper represents a broad overvi

Topological entanglements are abundant, and often detrimental, in polymeric systems in biology and materials science. Here we theoretically investigate the topological simplification of knots by diffusing slip-links (SLs), which may represent biologi

Phase separation is as familiar as watching vinegar separating from oil in vinegrette. The observation that phase separation of proteins and nucleic acids is widespread in living cells has opened an entire field of research into the biological signif

Summary: Lamina-associated domains (LADs) cover a large part of the human genome and are thought to play a major role in shaping the nuclear architectural landscape. Here, we perform polymer simulations, microscopy, and mass spectrometry to dissect t

DNA molecules are not fixed objects – they are constantly getting broken up and glued back together to adopt new shapes. Davide Michieletto explains how this process can be harnessed to create a new generation of “topologically active” material

Systems of “living” polymers are ubiquitous in industry and are traditionally realised using surfactants. Here I first review the theoretical state-of-the-art of living polymers and then discuss non-equilibrium extensions that may be realised wit
