title: The undiscovered country: chromosome territories and the organization of transcription.
abstract: The interchromosome domain (ICD) model proposes that genes are selectively positioned at the surfaces of chromosome territories to facilitate their regulation. A paper in the May 13 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology provides evidence that supports a reinterpretation of this model.
