Chromosome territories are specific regions occupied by chromosomes in the nucleus during interphase. First developed by Carl Rabl (1853-1917) in his paper ‘Über zelltheilung, 1885’,‘Rabl orientation’ was confirmed later in 1982 by C. Cremer (1944-) and T. Cremer (1945-) using 'premature chromosome condensation and laser-UV-microbeam experiments' using 'Chinese hamster cells.'[1] Recent technological advances such as ‘Fish’[2] has shown all eukaryotic organisms territories are typically 1-2 µm in diameter and irregularly shaped with sub-domains made of individual chromosome arms.[3] As well as this, chromatin folding into 'fractal globule' shapes allows distinction between chromosome territory and easy access for replication molecules plus easy unfolding for specific genes.[4] Gene dense chromosomes also tends to occupy regions near the centre of the nucleus whereas less gene dense chromosomes occupies regions near the peripheral of the nucleus [5]. Neighbouring chromosomes can interact with each other and due to this interaction chromosomes are rendered immobile.[6] However, it has become aware that chromosome arrangement in a cell is dependent on cell type/organism/tissue/if diseased and thus we are still unable to predict position.[7]
