Shaping Epigenetic Memory via Genomic Bookmarking
Davide Michieletto, Michael Chiang, Davide Coli +4
Reconciling the stability of epigenetic patterns with the rapid turnover of histone modifications and their adaptability to external stimuli is an outstanding challenge. Here, we p…
Ring Polymers: Threadings, Knot Electrophoresis and Topological Glasses
Davide Michieletto, Enzo Orlandini, Davide Marenduzzo +1
Elucidating the physics of a concentrated suspension of ring polymers, or of an ensemble of ring polymers in a complex environment, is an important outstanding question in polymer…
Epigenetic Transitions and Knotted Solitons in Stretched Chromatin
Davide Michieletto, Enzo Orlandini, Davide Marenduzzo
The spreading and regulation of epigenetic marks on chromosomes is crucial to establish and maintain cellular identity. Nonetheless, the dynamical mechanism leading to the establis…
Dynamical Scaling and Phase Coexistence in Topologically-Constrained DNA Melting
Y. A. G. Fosado, D. Michieletto, D. Marenduzzo
There is a long-standing experimental observation that the melting of topologically constrained DNA, such as circular-closed plasmids, is less abrupt than that of linear molecules.…
