(MARs) also called scaffold attachment regions (SARs), or S/MARs in case of metaphase chromosome as the same sequences appear to attach to the protein substructure in both metaphase and interphase cells.

In interphase nuclei, this underlying proteinaceous structure changes its organization to occupy the entire nucleus; during interphase the structure is referred to as the matrix rather than the scaffold.

S/MARs is a DNA sequence which binds to base structure called scaffold.

The metaphase scaffold consists of a dense network of fibers. Threads of DNA emanate from the scaffold, apparently as loops of average length 30 to 90 kb.

S/MARs are constitutive (continuously bound to the matrix or scaffold), or facultative and change their interactions with the matrix depending on cell type or other conditions.
