We made it onto the cover of today's issue of the Biophysical Journal 😎 https://www.cell.com/biophysj/issue?pii=S0006-3495(23)X0009-5 The image presents #chromatin with randomly distributed nucleosomes along the DNA in periodic boundary conditions that mimic the natural density. Illustration by Tilo Zülske, Leif-Kristof Schultz and Frederic Bauer. We show how the degree of regularity of nucleosome spacing determines the accessibility of the chromatin network for diffusive processes.

Chromatin Simulated at Physiological Densities

In our research, we used computer simulations to study the 3D organization of chromatin in the cell nucleus. This organization is fundamental to many aspects of cell biology.
