Encounter time of two loci governed by polymer de-condensation and local chromatin interaction
Assaf Amitai, David Holcman
The time for a DNA sequence to find its homologous depends on a long random search process inside the cell nucleus. Using polymer models, we model and compute here the mean first e…

Encounter dynamics of a small target by a polymer diffusing in a confined domain
A. Amitai, Carlo Amoruso, Avi Ziskind +1
We study the first passage time for a polymer, that we call the narrow encounter time (NETP), to reach a small target located on the surface of a microdomain. The polymer is modele…

First Passage Distributions in a Collective Model of Anomalous Diffusion with Tunable Exponent
Assaf Amitai, Yacov Kantor, Mehran Kardar
We consider a model system in which anomalous diffusion is generated by superposition of underlying linear modes with a broad range of relaxation times. In the language of Gaussian…
