Abstract
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Recent results from a limited number of eukaryotic model organisms suggest that major principles governing spatial organization of the genome in functionally distinct nuclear compartments are conserved through evolution. RESULTS: We examined the in situ spatial organization of major nuclear components and nuclear patterns of gene loci with strictly defined expression patterns in endocycling cells of the transparent urochordate Oikopleura dioica, a complex metazoan with a very compact genome. Endocycling cells with different functions and similar DNA content displayed distinct topologies of nuclear components. However, the generation of the diverse nuclear architectures did not involve specific local organization of active genes or their preferential amplification. Interestingly, endocycling cells lacked nuclear-envelope-associated heterochromatin and prominent splicing-factor domains, which in mammalian cells associate with transcriptionally silent and active loci respectively. In addition, no correlation was found between transcriptional activity of a locus and its association with chromatin domains rich in specific histone modifications. CONCLUSIONS: Together, these findings and the absence of typical eukaryotic replication patterns reveal a surprisingly limited functional compartmentalization of O. dioica endocycling nuclei. This indicates that robust cell-type-specific gene expression does not necessarily require high levels of spatial genome organization.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
