Figure 2.

Model yields structures commensurate with chromosome territory formation and phase separation between euchromatin and heterochromatin. (a) Outer view of the genome colored by chromosomes (homologs have the same color) and a blown-up version. (b) A cross-section of the nucleus is shown with chromatin colored by the compartment type, with A in red, B in blue, and C in green. The radial density of profiles of the three compartment types are shown on the side. (c) The average radial position of chromosome 1 as a function of the genomic position with comparison to the compartment profile. Here, $R_0$ is the radius of the nucleus, and $R_0=13\sigma =5\mu$m.
