While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how stretches of DNA form genes, this ...

Chromatin compaction has profound implications for the regulation of transcription, replication and DNA repair. Changes in nucleosome structure and stability — due to the incorporation of ...

Two new studies point to a heretofore underappreciated mechanism by which chromatin higher-order structure can be regulated by surfaces in the nucleosome that are not associated with DNA.

New Technique Yields More Detailed Picture Of Chromatin Structure Date: April 21, 2008 Source: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Summary: Researchers have developed a new technique for ...

Chromatin structure: More folding, more complexity than expected Peer-Reviewed Publication. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, News Bureau ...

Researchers at the RIKEN SPring-8 Center in Harima, Japan have clarified for the first time how chromatin in archaea, one of the three evolutionary branches of organisms in nature, binds to DNA.

The 3D structure of DNA is important for controlling cell-specific gene expression patterns, but determining that structure can be labor-intensive. Now, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Dozens of genetic variants had been identified that correlate with expression of TMEM106B, a gene associated with FTLD. “This was a completely unknown gene in 2010, and over the years it’s ...

These modifications increase chromatin accessibility, influencing growth, differentiation, and ion transport, with contrasting effects on normal and colorectal cancer cells. Study: Short-chain ...

A new study on dogs found that chromatin's spatial structure has a significant role in the evolution of social behavior. Chromatin, the compact form of DNA, not only packages genetic material but ...
