I am not afraid to say it: this is the most fundamental advance in our understanding of chromatin structure since the zig-zag fiber model.
Replying to @kazu_maeshima
Using single-H1 imaging and computational modeling, we show that most H1 behaves like a liquid inside chromatin domains, rather than binding stably to nucleosomes as in the textbook model. Congrats, @MasaAShimazoe & all contributors! 🎉 2/2 🔗science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

🧬My retrospective chromatin review is out@Proc Jpn Acad: doi.org/10.2183/pjab.101.020 Textbook models of 30-nm fibers are fading. A new paradigm: chromatin forms liquid-like domains—locally dynamic, yet globally stable at chromosome level (viscoelastic)—supporting genome function.✨

A question for the experts: Can you recognize nucleosomes and linker DNA in this data? Find an updated version of our manuscript in biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Spectacular work!
Excited to share our new paper @NatureComms. bit.ly/3WUkxbJ Single-nucleosome imaging reveals that condensins act as molecular crosslinkers, locally constraining nucleosomes to organize mitotic chromosomes. Nucleosome-nucleosome interactions constrain whole chromosomes.
