Chromatin refers to proteins that help organize ... James Watson and Francis Crick were able to piece together the first accurate model of DNA. Shown here is the structure of naked DNA -- DNA ...

Chemical cross-linking and X-ray studies performed with precisely defined chromatin fiber segments have lent support to the cross-linker model. DNA containing a repeated nucleosome-positioning ...

A physically consistent and realistic structural model for DNA organization in chromosomes ... and the known self-associative properties of chromatin, and also with an effective protection of ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

what does the future of ancestry DNA look like? A team of researchers from the University of Michigan says it is going to look more like a movie than a portrait, thanks to a new statistical model that ...

the DNA might, for example, spiral through a centromeric higher-order structure. Flanking heterochromatin might form a boundary that limits the spreading of centromeric chromatin in monocentric ...

To do so, they planned to stabilize proteins at their chromatin binding locations and use nucleic acid hybridization to fish out specific DNA sequences along with the bound proteins. By using enzymes ...

“We proposed that dehydration led to a glass transition of chromatin that arrested molecular movement of DNA fragments, which we dubbed chromatin glass, or ‘chromoglass’.” The researchers tested a ...
