Chromosoma

Aims & Scope

Chromosoma publishes research and review articles on the functional organization of the eukaryotic cell nucleus, with a particular emphasis on the structure and dynamics of chromatin and chromosomes; the expression and replication of genomes; genome organization and evolution; the segregation of genomes during meiosis and mitosis; the function and dynamics of subnuclear compartments; the nuclear envelope and nucleocytoplasmic interactions, and more.

The scope of Chromosoma encompasses genetic, biophysical, molecular and cell biological studies.
