Abstract Chromatin organization regulates gene expression, with nanoscale heterochromatin domains playing a fundamental role. Their size varies with microenvironmental stiffness and epigenetic interventions, but how these factors regulate their formation and influence transcription remains unclear. To address this, we developed a sequencing-informed copolymer model that simulates chromatin evolution through diffusion and active epigenetic reactions.
