Abstract: Chromosomes undergo dramatic compaction during mitosis, but accurately measuring their volume has been challenging. Employing serial block face scanning electron microscopy, Cisneros-Soberanis et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202403165) report that mitotic chromosomes compact to a nucleosome concentration of ∼760 µM.
