Abstract

Nuclear organization impacts gene expression activity and cell phenotype. Our current understanding is mainly derived from ensemble-level sequencing studies that reflect the 3D genome structure of millions of cells. These approaches have provided invaluable details on the 3D organizations of the genome and their relation to other nuclear landmarks. However, they mostly lack the ability to provide multimodal information simultaneously at the single-cell level. In recent years, cutting-edge imaging technologies have risen to the challenge of simultaneously describing multiple components of the nuclear space at the single-cell level, paving the way for a deeper understanding of the genome structure–function relationship. This review will focus on the development and utilization of such technologies to gain a multi-component view of the nucleus at single-cell resolution, dissecting the complexity and heterogeneity of nuclear organization.
