Reconstructed particle-on-a-string 3D genomes of Brassica rapa.

Caption

Reconstructed particle-on-a-string 3D genomes of Brassica rapa. (a) 3D organization with expanded views of the separate chromosome territories. (b) Spatial distribution of telomeres and centromeres of ten chromosomes in the 3D genome. The blue sphere indicates the telomeres, and the red sphere indicates centromeres. Each particle equals ten kilobase pairs. (c) Chromatin was stained blue with DAPI. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was performed with probes specific for centromeres (red) and telomeres (blue). Arrows indicate clusters of multiple telomeres. Scale bar, 2 μm.
