Detection of mini-clusters at 1-h intervals in culture and in simulated
nuclei. (a) Frequency and size of observed telomere mini-clusters. Each column
represents a single nucleus at the time point indicated. Each number
represents a single mini-cluster, and the number indicates how many telomeres
were found in the minicluster. Data from five nuclei are shown for each time
point. (b–e) Data from simulated nuclei at the same time points
are shown for four conditions: (b) D = 4.1 ×
10–2 μm2/s, b = 0; (c)
D = 2.4 × 10–2 μm2/s,
b = 0; (d) D = 2.4 × 10–4
μm2/s, b = 0.58; (e) D = 2.4 ×
10–7 μm2/s, b = 10. Three
nuclei were measured in each condition; data from each nucleus is listed in
the same column position across the time points.
