Scientists tend to describe DNA as a long string. But this metaphor fails to accurately describe the complex three-dimensional structure that DNA adopts within our cells. In truth, our DNA could more ...
The meeting will encompass a structural perspective of chromatin, highlighting developments in our understanding of its organization and the impact on biological functions such as DNA replication, ...
If stretched out and laid end-to-end, the DNA in a human cell's 46 chromosomes would span about 6 feet. Yet it fits inside of a nucleus only micrometers in diameter. Somehow, the DNA gets compacted by ...
A team led by HHMI Investigator Michael Rosen used advanced imaging techniques to understand how fibers of compacted DNA and proteins are organized and interact inside membrane-less, droplet-like ...
