Molecular Packaging, Liquid-Crystalline Order, and Three-Dimensional Architecture of Dinoflagellate Chromosomes

Year: 2026

Type: review

Abstract: CCMP 1329 nucleus resolved 62 tightly packed chromosome bodies together with an organized nucleolus and clustered nuclear pores, and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) studies in Symbiodiniaceae revealed chromosome-scale scaffolds and transcription-dependent domains. Integrating standardized volume electron microscopy, chromosome-scale genomics, cryo-electron tomography, and biochemical reconstitution should connect molecular packaging to whole-nucleus architecture and improve understanding of ecologically important microbial eukaryotes.
