Model chromatin flows: numerical analysis of linear and nonlinear hydrodynamics inside a sphere

We solve our previously published active polymer field theory in a confined geometry analytically and numerically, into the nonlinear regime

Activity-driven phase transition causes coherent flows of chromatin

Using a field-theoretic description of active chromatin hydrodynamics, we find a phase transition that explains chromatin’s observed correlated motion

Symmetry-Based Classification of Forces Driving Chromatin Dynamics

Using conservation of momentum to constrain theories of active polymer dynamics
