Figure 2. Hierarchical folding and Plasticity of higher-order chromatin structures.

Figure 2

A general scheme represent the folding of chromatin from 11-nm nucleosomal arrays (beads-on-string) to higher order chromatin structures including 30-nm chromatin fiber, fiber-fiber association, chromatin looping and positioning. Factors proposed to affect changes between different chromatin structures are shown.
