During early embryogenesis of the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, the chromatin motion markedly decreases. Despite its biological implications, the underlying mechanism for this transition was unclear. By combining theory and experiment, we analyze the mean-square displacement (MSD) of the chromatin loci, and demonstrate that MSD-vs-time relationships in various nuclei collapse into a single master curve by normalizing them with the mesh size and the corresponding time scale. This enables us to identify the onset of the entangled dynamics with the size of tube diameter of chromatin polymer in the C. elegans embryo. Our dynamical scaling analysis predicts the transition between unentangled and entangled dynamics of chromatin polymers, the quantitative formula for MSD as a function of nuclear size and timescale, and provides testable hypotheses on chromatin mobility in other cell types and species.
