Abstract:	Berlin-BuchChromosomes have a complex organization in the space of the nucleus of cells. Understanding their structure is a key open issue in molecular biology. Quantitative models from polymer physics, investigated by extensive Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations, have been developed to find the principles of chromosome folding and its function. Here, we provide a short review of recent progress in such an important research field.
