Interphase is the critical period in the eukaryotic cell cycle characterized by a sequence of events like the G1 phase where the cell undergoes growth, the S phase where the cell makes a copy of its DNA and the G2 phase where the cell continues to grow, and then prepares for cell divisi...
when clustered DNA lesions and their associated chromatin decompaction are induced by particle irradiation, e.g., in the S phase, their conversion into localized chromosome shattering may also take place by means of cell cycle dependent chromatin condensation dynamics as cells proceed to the G2/M...
