Chromatin states and nuclear organization in development--a view from the nuclear lamina.

ABSTRACT: The spatial distribution of chromatin domains in interphase nuclei changes dramatically during development in multicellular organisms. A crucial question is whether nuclear organization is a cause or a result of differentiation. Genetic perturbation of lamina-heterochromatin interactions is helping to reveal the cross-talk between chromatin states and nuclear organization.
