Figure 5From: Body maps on the human genomeDorso-ventral “gradient of gradients” pattern. Corresponding to the antero-posterior axis, tissues positioned more dorsally in the body tend to have their genes concentrated on chromosomes sited more toward the center of the nucleus. (For weighted datapoints, r2 = 0.47; p < 0.04, two-tailed.) -- In the nucleus, the genome homunculus is facing outward.Back to article page
