Local DNA motion inside the cell stays nearly constant throughout interphase
Human genomic DNA is wrapped around core histone proteins to form nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin. During interphase, the period between cell divisions, DNA is replicated and the nucleus becomes larger. At the same time, cells must continuously carry out essential
