Abstrakt

The review analyzes the role of physicochemical processes in the formation of the function-dependent architecture of the cell nucleus, built on the platform of a folded genome. The main attention is paid to various forms of the phase separation process, primarily the processes of liquid-liquid phase separation and polymer-polymer phase separation. The role of these processes in the formation of chromatin compartments and maintenance of three-dimensional genome architecture is discussed in detail. The relationship between genome activity and the creation of functional compartments in the cell nucleus is also analyzed.
