Metazoan chromosomes are folded into discrete sub-nuclear domains, referred to as chromosome territories (CTs). The molecular mechanisms that underlie the formation and maintenance of CTs during the cell cycle remain largely unknown. Here, we have developed high-resolution chromosome paints to investigate CT organization in Drosophila cycling cells. We show that large-scale chromosome folding patterns and levels of chromosome intermixing are remarkably stable across various cell types. Our data also suggest that the nucleus scales to accommodate fluctuations in chromosome size throughout the cell cycle, which limits the degree of intermixing between neighboring CTs. Finally, we show that the cohesin and condensin complexes are required for different scales of chromosome folding, with condensin II being especially important for the size, shape, and level of intermixing between CTs in interphase. These findings suggest that large-scale chromosome folding driven by condensin II influences the extent to which chromosomes interact, which may have direct consequences for cell-type specific genome stability. Eukaryotic genomes encode genetic information in their linear sequence, but appropriate expression of their genes requires chromosomes to fold into complex and spatially distinct three-dimensional structures known as chromosome territories (CTs). Despite the remarkable conservation of this organizational feature, we have a very limited molecular understanding of how chromosomes are spatially partitioned and functionally packaged into CTs in the nucleus. Here, we describe an efficient and scalable method of high-resolution chromosome painting using Oligopaints. We have generated Oligopaints to the entire non-repetitive portion of the Drosophila genome, using their relatively small genome to more easily capture a complete picture of chromosome organization during interphase. We demonstrate that levels of inter-chromosomal associations are remarkably consistent in a variety of cell types and throughout the cell cycle. We have also isolated the condensin II complex as a factor that regulates the level of inter-chromosomal associations during interphase. These findings have implications for many cellular processes that maintain genome stability, such as gene regulation and DNA repair.
