Figure 2From: Hierarchies in eukaryotic genome organization: Insights from polymer theory and simulationsHierarchies of Genome Organization. The hierarchical process by which eukaryotic double-stranded DNA (two meters long, in the case of humans) is packaged within the confines of a micrometers-sized cell. As shown schematically in the figure, this process encompasses three main organization levels classified as primary, secondary and tertiary [115, 116].Back to article page
