Yeast condensin acts as a transient intermolecular crosslinker in entangled DNA

Filippo Conforto, Antonio Valdes, Willem Vanderlinden +1

Structural-Maintenance-of-Chromosome (SMC) complexes such as condensins organise the folding of chromosomes. However, their role in modulating the entanglement of DNA and chromatin…

Bridging-Induced Phase Separation and Loop Extrusion Drive Noise in Chromatin Transcription

Michael Chiang, Cleis Battaglia, Giada Forte +3

Transcriptional noise, or heterogeneity, is important in cellular development and in disease. The molecular mechanisms driving it are, however, elusive and ill-understood. Here, we…

Topological Linking Determines Elasticity in Limited Valence Networks

Giorgia Palombo, Simon Weir, Davide Michieletto +1

Understanding the relationship between the microscopic structure and topology of a material and its macroscopic properties is a fundamental challenge across a wide range of systems…

Effects of Monovalent and Divalent Cations on the Rheology of Entangled DNA

Jennifer Harnett, Simon Weir, Davide Michieletto

In this paper we investigate the effects of varying cation valency and concentration on the rheology of entangled lambda DNA solutions. We show that monovalent cations moderately i…

Geometric Learning of Knot Topology

Joseph Lahoud Sleiman, Filippo Conforto, Yair Augusto Gutierrez Fosado +1

Knots are deeply entangled with every branch of science. One of the biggest open challenges in knot theory is to formalise a knot invariant that can unambiguously and efficiently d…

Discrete fragmentation equations with time-dependent coefficients

Lyndsay Kerr, Wilson Lamb, Matthias Langer

We examine an infinite, linear system of ordinary differential equations that models the evolution of fragmenting clusters, where each cluster is assumed to be composed of identica…
