Recent   technical progress   in live cell imaging have confirmed that the structure and   dynamics   of chromatin play an essential role in regulating many   biological   processes, such as gene activity, DNA replication,   recombination   and DNA damage repair. The emerging view is that genomes are   compartimentalized at the level of chromosome territories in   mammalian nuclei, into subchromosal structural domains that   are likely to be fundamental functional units that coordinate   the spatial organization and timing of replication and   transcription.   A remarkable property of these subchromosal foci is that they   are observed to correlate well to the replication foci   observed   in interphase nuclei, that are stable structures that persist   throughout the cell cycle and subsequent cell generations. As   regards to this probable clonal inheritance, one may wonder to   which extent one may learn about the higher order   structure and   dynamics of chromatin directly from the primary DNA sequence   and its functional landmarks. <br><P> In the first part of this talk, we use the continuous   wavelet transform   (WT) to characterize the scale invariance properties of   genomic   sequences. We show the existence of power-law correlations   over   distances up to , 20 - 30 kb as the signature of the   nucleosomal   structure of the 30 nm chromatin fiber. In a second part, we   explore the large-scale compositional heterogeneity of several   large (tens of megabases) contigs within human chromosomes   through   the optics of the WT microscope. We show that the GC   content displays   rather regular nonlinear oscillations with two main   frequencies   corresponding to 100 kb and 400 kb which are well   recognized characteristic   sizes of chromatin loops and loop domains involved in the   hierarchical folding of chromatin fibers. These frequencies   are also remarkably similar to the size of mammalian replicons   and replicon clusters. When further investigating   deviations from   intrastrand equimolarities between A and T and between G   and C,   we corroborate the existence of these two fundamental   frequencies   as the footprints of the replication and/or transcription   mutation   biais and we show that the observed nonlinear oscillations   enlighten   a remarkable cooperative organization of gene location and   orientation. When using classical techniques from   dynamical systems   theory, e.g. phase-portrait reconstruction, Poincar&#233;   section,   1-D map, we demonstrate that the observed nonlinear   oscillations   display all the characteristic features of chaotic strange   attractor   behavior of Shil'nikov type. As regards to current polymer   random   walk modelling of the random folding of chromosomal   fibers, our   results suggest as a very attractive alternative picture   that the   higher-order structure and dynamics of chromatin, in   relation with   replication and transcription processes, are governed by a   nonlinear   dynamical system that displays low-dimensional   deterministic chaos. </font> </ul> <!-- FIN PHYST --> <!-- DEB CORPU --> <table width="640" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><font size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica" color="navy"><b>Wednesday May 28th 2003</b></font></td><td align="right" width="400"><hr size="5" noshade></td></tr></table> <ul><li><font size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica"><b><a href="/seminaires/CORPU20.ps">  14h15</a> :  Particles and Hadronic Seminar</b></font>  <font size="3" face="Arial,Helvetica"> <br><b><a href=mailto:wschebor@spht.saclay.cea.fr> Nicolas WSCHEBOR</a><!-- orateur --></b> (SPhT, CEA/Saclay)<br> <font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica"><i></i></font>  <font size="3" face="Arial,Helvetica"><i> <!-- CORPU20_suj --> Le mod&#232;le de Gross-Neveu &#224; temp&#233;rature finie </i></font> </font> <font size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica"><p align="justify"> <!-- CORPU20_res --> Des r&#233;sultats nouveaux pour le mod&#232;le de Gross-Neveu &#224;   temp&#233;rature   finie seront pr&#233;sent&#233;s.
