Periphery went through a number of lineup changes during its early history. Mansoor also continues to be involved in a number of other musical projects, including Haunted Shores, Four Seconds Ago, and of Man Not of Machine. Mansoor has continued to update his personal project, Bulb, often transferring songs between the two projects. Before and during Periphery's tenure in the metal scene, Mansoor developed a reputation for doing his own audio production, the majority of which was performed with a home computer and a Pod XT. Periphery was formed in 2005 by guitarist Misha Mansoor, who slowly gained a reputation on the Internet via a regularly-updated Soundclick account, the Meshuggah and John Petrucci forums, and the message boards.

Recently, work suggests surprisingly that transcription per se is not a determinant of gene position in relation to the nuclear periphery an emerging view instead supports that peripheral tethering may reflect mechanisms to promote genome stability while being dispensable for gene silencing. While modern genomic analyses have confirmed that the nuclear periphery is home to repetitive, gene-poor chromatin rich in repressive histone marks, specific genic regions either leave or associate with the nuclear periphery in response to external environmental or developmental inputs in a way that correlates with transcriptional output. Over the last few decades, remarkable molecular insight from many model systems has contributed to a dynamic and nuanced view of the nuclear periphery, which had previously been considered a static, transcriptionally-silent nuclear subcompartment. The nuclear periphery is an essential element of nuclear architecture that contributes to the organization and function of the genome.
