Mechanism leading to the generation of a single hetero-cluster inverted architecture. The patterns were generated from P0. a Nuclear size and shape are fixed under conditions (3)–(5), defined in the text. The parameters used are the same as in Fig. 4, except for ρm(t)=0. b The heterochromatin conversion rate is fixed for a fixed-sized nucleus, and circular and elliptical nuclei that decrease in size (80 % cut-off) under conditions (4)–(5), defined in the text. The parameters used are the same as in Fig. 4, except for (ρ¯1,ρ¯2,ρ¯3,ρ¯4,ρ¯5,ρ¯6,ρ¯7,ρ¯8)=(0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0). c The affinity between the nuclear envelope and heterochromatin is present for a fixed-sized nucleus and circular and elliptical nuclei that decrease in size (80 % cut-off) under conditions (3) and (5), defined in the text. The parameters used are the same as in Fig. 4, except for γ=0.022. (d) The unoccupied space in the nucleus is considered a fixed nucleus and circular and elliptical nuclei that decrease in size (40 % cut-off) under conditions (3) and (4), defined in the text. The final volumes of euchromatin and heterochromatin decrease to approximately 49 % compared with P0 volumes, in each panel. The parameters used are the same as in Fig. 4
