I propose to present modeling and experimental data about the organization of telomeres (ends of the chromosomes): the 32 telomeres in Yeast form few local aggregates. We built a model of diffusion-aggregation-dissociation for a finite number of particles to estimate the number of cluster and the number of telomere/cluster and other quantities. We will further present based on eingenvalue expansion for the Fokker-Planck operator, asymptotic estimation for the mean time a piece of a polymer (DNA) finds a small target in the nucleus.
