Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Cytologically visible constitutive heterochromatin found at the centromeric and telomeric regions of chromosomes represents the largest differentiated chromatin compartment in eukaryotic nuclei.1 Outside constitutive heterochromatin, heterochromatin- like domains (HLD, >.1 Mb) and complexes (HLC, <.1 Mb) are found along the chromosome arms.2 HLD/Cs are present in eukaryotic genomes as divergent as fission yeast and human, with expansions in size and number in mammals. In human, there are ~163 to 859 HLDs and ~18 853 to 32 292 HLCs, depending on cell type.2 Some of the largest HLDs are the KRAB-ZNF HLDs on chromosome 19. Notably, contacts among these large HLDs emerge as the heterochromatic B4 sub-compartment in Hi-C maps...
