- Description
- DNA molecules with a total length of two meters contain the genetic information in every cell in our body. To control access to the genes and to organize its spatial structure in the nucleus the cell makes use of sophisticated physical mechanisms. Base pair sequences multiplex various layers of information, chromatin remodelers mobilize nucleosomes via twist defects, and biomolecular condensates concentrate proteins and nucleic acids in specialized membraneless compartments. In this talk I discuss our current state of understanding of some of these physical mechanisms that influence the organization of the genetic material in space and time.
