Scientists from Skoltech and the University of Potsdam have developed a physical theory that sheds light on how molecular ...

Centromeres act as the control centers of chromosomes, ensuring accurate genetic inheritance during cell division, yet they ...

Every cell in your body faces the same engineering puzzle: how to cram roughly two meters of DNA into a nucleus just a few ...

DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber-linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" ...

DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber—linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that a specific long non-coding RNA activates oncogenic signaling pathways ...

DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber—linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" nucleosomes together, creating a ...

The human genome is about two meters long, yet it fits inside a nucleus only ~10 micrometers in diameter. A research team led ...

As many as 1 in 4 cancers are driven by mutations in the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex, which controls access to DNA.

Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male determination, it was thought this loss would not affect health. But evidence has ...

This valuable paper describes the regulation of the association of meiotic chromosome axis proteins on chromosome ends with sub-telomeric elements in budding yeast. The genome-wide analyses of binding ...
