Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

Therefore, chromatin is further coiled into an even ... the DNA becomes highly compacted into the classic metaphase chromosomes that can be seen with a light microscope. Once a cell has divided ...

Compared to its sequence, relatively little is known about the structure of the human genome, which enables more than two meters of chromatin to fit inside the nucleus. Chromosomes are thought to be ...

The largest of these loops results from the helical coiling of chromatin (the thick line in this illustration). This coiling causes the chromosome to resemble a spring. Chromatin refers to ...

Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this process can ...

“This is the first study using this model of replicative senescence to define those higher-order three-dimensional chromatin changes,” said epigeneticist Peter Adams of the Cancer Research UK Beatson ...

Bringing together the genetic and cytological data, Lyon interpreted "sex chromatin" to be a manifestation of a genetically inactive X chromosome. She could then explain the mottled appearance of ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details about the genetic structure of ovarian cancer stem cells, ...

Thus, in the reconstruction of the four daughter nuclei, two of them contain more chromatin than the other two. The resulting pollen grains, however, look alike. 14. In the somatic mitosis there are ...

Research published in Cell Research from Mario Halic, PhD, St. Jude Department of Structural Biology, revealed 13 distinct ...
