Abstract
Scale-free, or fractal, models are prevalent in the study of chromosome structure, dynamics, and mechanics. Recent experiments suggest the existence of scaling relationships; but currently there is no single model consistent with all observed exponents. We present a simple argument characterizing the space of scale-free models for chromosome structure, dynamics, and mechanics and discuss the implications for a consistent treatment. Our framework helps reconciling seemingly contradictory data and identifies specific experimental questions to be addressed in future work.
