Investigating chromatin's 3D architecture reveals its influence on gene regulation, shedding light on mechanisms underlying ...

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

Cancer cells take advantage of these chromatin states for their own survival and proliferation. The team first devised a way to understand how chromatin behaves in cancer cells. Using a technique ...

These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different from a skin cell, are partly determined by the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the genetic material ...

Chromatin is the tightly-coiled structure of DNA and proteins which is used to store the genetic information inside the nucleus of a cell. The chromatin in a human cell contains around two metres ...

Every type of cell has a characteristic chromatin structure that includes closed chromatin, which is tightly wound around nucleosomes and is relatively inactive, and open chromatin, ...

The researchers found chromatin is folded into a variety of tree-like domains spaced along a chromatin backbone. These small and large areas are like a mixed forest of trees growing from the forest ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego have produced a single-cell chromatin atlas for the human genome. Chromatin is a complex of DNA and protein found in eukaryotic cells; regions of ...

They analyzed the chromatin structure in fruit fly intestinal stem cells and found a region of chromatin that often closed up during aging, preventing the regulator encoded by this region of DNA ...

Maintaining cells in the quiescent G 0 phase of the cell division cycle is achieved by suppressing the expression of genes required for cell-cycle progression. In the May 10 Science, Hidesato Ogawa ...
