#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Active genes/euchromatin are often found at the borders of chromosome territories, and active genes from several chromosomes may cluster in inter-chromosomal territories that are enriched in transcription machinery.

MARs are AT rich heterochromatic regions which contains cis-acting sites that regulate transcription, 5’ introns, and a recognition site for topoisomerase II is usually present in the MAR.
