    This image depicts, in the form of stacking dolls, a number of species examined in our paper. We analyze and group the species by their nuclear architecture type, and transform a typical human architecture into a typical fly nuclear arrangement in a condensin II disruption experiment.

    An artist’s interpretation of chromatin folded up inside the nucleus. The artist has rendered an extraordinarly long contour into a small area, in two dimensions, by hand.

    This image depicts a human casting a fly shadow. In our paper we show that we can transform the nuclear arrangement in a human cell into that typical of a fly nucleus.

  • The Fly III

    This work stemmed from a discussion of an optical illusion that we, in a way, create in the Hoencamp et al. manuscript where, by disrupting condensin II protein, we create human cells that resemble those of a fruit fly.

    This image shows an arrangement of 24 contact maps from 24 different organisms from across the tree of life. The contact maps show how chromosomes in different species interact with each other, highlighting the different contact features such as chromosome territories, centromere-to-centromere and telomere-to-telomere contacts and foldback along the centormere-to-telomere axis.

    Two photographs showing a sequence of human chromosome 14 folded into a three-dimensional pattern. In our work we study how the genomes of different organisms across the tree of life fold in 3D.

    An artist’s interpretation of evolution from primates, via modern humans to mosquitoes. This artwork is a play on our data in which we show that we can change the organization of the human genome into something that more resembles the genome organization of mosquitoes.
