Thermodynamic pathways to genome spatial organization in the cell nucleus
Mario Nicodemi, Antonella Prisco
The architecture of the eukaryotic genome is characterized by a high degree of spatial organization. Chromosomes occupy preferred territories correlated to their state of activity…

A thermodynamic switch for chromosome colocalization
M. Nicodemi, B. Panning, A. Prisco
A general model for the early recognition and colocalization of homologous DNA sequences is proposed. We show, on a thermodynamic ground, how the distance between two homologous DN…

A Symmetry Breaking Model for X Chromosome Inactivation
M. Nicodemi, A. Prisco
In mammals, dosage compensation of X linked genes in female cells is achieved by inactivation of one of their two X chromosomes which is randomly chosen. The earliest steps in X-in…
