Defects in lamin B1 expression or processing affect interphase chromosome position and gene expression Export

@article{Malhas_JCB07, abstract = {Radial organization of nuclei with peripheral gene-poor chromosomes and central gene-rich chromosomes is common and could depend on the nuclear boundary as a scaffold or position marker.
