The 23 human chromosome territories during prometaphase in fibroblast cells
In cell biology, chromosome territories are regions of the nucleus preferentially occupied by particular chromosomes.
Interphase chromosomes are long DNA strands that are extensively folded, and are often described as appearing like a bowl of spaghetti. The chromosome territory concept holds that despite this apparent disorder, chromosomes largely occupy defined regions of the nucleus.[1] Most eukaryotes are thought to have chromosome territories, although the budding yeast S. cerevisiae is an exception to this.[2]
