3D active nematic disclinations behave as Majorana quasiparticles
Louise C. Head, Giuseppe Negro, Livio N. Carenza +7
Quasiparticles are low-energy excitations with important roles in condensed matter physics. An intriguing example is provided by Majorana fermions, quasiparticles which are identic…
Topological spectra and entropy of chromatin loop networks
Andrea Bonato, Dom Corbett, Sergey Kitaev +3
The 3D folding of a mammalian gene can be studied by a polymer model, where the chromatin fibre is represented by a semiflexible polymer which interacts with multivalent proteins,…
Combinatorics and topological weights of chromatin loop networks
Andrea Bonato, Dom Corbett, Sergey Kitaev +3
Polymer physics models suggest that chromatin spontaneously folds into loop networks with transcription units (TUs), such as enhancers and promoters, as anchors. Here we use combin…
Extrusion without a motor: a new take on the loop extrusion model of genome organization
C. A. Brackley, J. Johnson, D. Michieletto +4
Chromatin loop extrusion is a popular model for the formation of CTCF loops and topological domains. Recent HiC data have revealed a strong bias in favour of a particular arrangeme…
Flow of deformable droplets: discontinuous shear thinning and velocity oscillations
M. Foglino, A. N. Morozov, O. Henrich +1
We study the rheology of a suspension of soft deformable droplets subjected to a pressure-driven flow. Through computer simulations, we measure the apparent viscosity as a function…
Lid-driven cavity flow of viscoelastic liquids
R. G. Sousa, R. J. Poole, A. M. Afonso +4
The lid-driven cavity flow is a well-known benchmark problem for the validation of new numerical methods and techniques. In experimental and numerical studies with viscoelastic flu…
