    Major nuclear locales define nuclear genome organization and function beyond A and B compartments

    Omid Gholamalamdari, Tom van Schaik ... Andrew S Belmont
    New insights into nuclear genome organization were generated by comparing genome localization relative to three major nuclear locales- nuclear lamina, nuclear speckles, and nucleoli- across several human cell lines.
