DNA distribution in nuclei of a pluripotent zebrafish embryo
Overview of cell nuclei in a pluripotent zebrafish embryo, illustrating the variety of patterns formed by DNA in different cells. These patterns were mapped to multiplicative cascades, capturing DNA distribution across length scales. This mapping also relates the DNA distribution in these cells to a wider class of multi-fractal systems, including, for example, clouds in the sky or cracks in the soil. The image shows an optical section through a sphere stage embryo acquired by STimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy, field of view 155-by-155 micrometers.
