Cancer cells must sustain their compromised genome structure (deletions, amplifications, rearrangements), epigenetic status and function otherwise cancer would be cured by cell division. Each regulatory component of gene expression is linked to architectural organization of regulatory machinery in the cell nucleus. Fidelity of nuclear s
