The fractal globule as a model of chromatin architecture in the cell - Chromosome Research

Conformations of the fractal (a) and equilibrium (b) globules. The chain is colored from red to blue in rainbow colors as shown on the top. The fractal globule has a striking territorial organization, which strongly contrasts with the mixing observed in the equilibrium globule. Territorial organization of the fractal globule (c) is evident when two chains of 1,000 monomers each are outlined. The equilibrium globule (d), in contrast, has two chains mixed together in space
