Interchromosome

Structural Illumination super-resolution microscopy (SIM) images of mitotic chromosomes from human cells, showing rDNA-linked chromosomes. rDNA was labeled with rDNA probe and UBF antibody (green and red). Both rDNA and UBF form filamentous connections between chromosomes. Credit: Gerton Lab. Thanks to super-resolution microscopy, scientists have now been able to unambiguously identify physical associations between human …
