Chromosomes are tightly coiled structures ... and G to “bases,” which are part of the structure of DNA. Strings of these letters make up your complex genetic code. If you think of yourself ...

These findings help us better understand the structure and function of our chromosomes. They also provide insight into how disruption of twisted DNA looping can affect health—for instance ...

So, it's very easy to see,” she said. To zoom in on changes in chromosome organization during meiosis, the researchers used nuclear membrane and DNA damage protein stains to track nuclear behavior.

The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

MIT chemists have developed an AI-driven method to predict 3D genome structures in minutes, significantly accelerating ...

Quantification and characterization of these multiple HML-2 insertions in the human chromosome has been challenging ... Structure of novel insertion sequences. The structure of the novel insertions, ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

The new finding is published in Cell in an article titled, “ SMC motor proteins extrude DNA asymmetrically and can switch directions ,” and is key to understanding how these motors shape our genome ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the ...
