Almost every cell in our body contains around two meters (6.6 feet) of DNA, packed into a tiny nucleus. Yet for the cell to function, this enormous amount of genetic material must remain organized and accessible. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered three distinct types of large chromosomal domains that help organize DNA in nuclei.
