Authors:
- The first to show the dynamic change of chromatin structures in a cell cycle-dependent manner
- Describes the intermediates of chromatin condensation
- Distinguishes between chromatin and chromosomal forms
- Describes how round shaped chromatin bodies, the first interphase chromosomes are converted to linear chromosomes
- Proves the linear attachment of chromosomes including interphase and metaphase chromosomes
- Visualizes chromatin changes upon genotoxic treatment (chemical carcinogenesis, heavy metal, irradiation)
- Provides the reader with additional information in the glossary section
- Helps the reader with a detailed list of abbreviations
- Helps to understand three dimensionality and seemingly difficult terms such as supercoiling
- Demonstrates that Drosophila chromosomes consist of smaller units called rodlets
- Demonstrates that the nucleosomal arrangement of Drosophila chromatin consist of meandering loops
- Reevaluates data of nucleosomal strings and provides a plectonemic chromatin model of chromosome condensation in Drosophila cells
