Simulation comparison of inter-chromosome and intra-chromosome attraction strength.

Same versus different: (a) Late time snapshot (t = 10⁶τ) for the case where the inter-chain attraction is smaller than the intra-chromosomal attraction. In this case, the chromosomes remain phase-separated in territories and are not mixed. (b) Long time snapshot (t = 10⁶τ) for the case where the inter-chain attraction is equal to the intra-chain attraction; this is the physically relevant situation and as time proceeds, the chains begin to mix. (c) and (d) Contact are maps calculated from the simulation for cases (a) and (b).
