Modeling the functions of condensin in chromosome shaping and segregation
Fig 1
(A) Parts of two different chromosome chains (blue and green). (B) Enlarged view around the the bases of the loops. Condensins (red and purple points) connect the bases of the loops (dashed lines) and attract each other in cis or in trans (dotted lines). The inter-condensin attraction is controlled by two parameters, Fcond and Δ, whereas the looping is controlled by Floop. (C) Example of initial configurations, where two chromosome chains (blue and green) are intermingled with each other. (D) Part of the initial configuration shown in panel C.
