Abstract

In this article, we attempt to analyze the relationship between the processes which occur in the nucleus and the dynamics of chromatin, as well as to classify the changes in the position of chromatin in the cell nucleus during the lifetime of the cell. The proposed concept integrates possible types of chromatin movement within the nucleus.
