In their paper the team discusses their novel view of euchromatin in the cell and shows how the revealed organization is relevant to genome functions. “Our ultimate goal is to reveal how genomic ...

The nuclei of most human cells contains the entire genome, which would have a length of about six feet if it was fully extended. So this DNA has to be carefully compacted in cells, while still ...

Despite great advances in technology over the last century, the physical characteristics of actively expressed chromatin, or euchromatin, remain a mystery. Recent research unveils that euchromatin is ...

After years of work, a large team of researchers say they've deciphered the missing 8% of our genome. Reading time 3 minutes Scientists have finished mapping the entire human genome, about 20 years ...

A new study has illuminated an important process that occurs during cell division and is a likely source of DNA damage under some circumstances, including cancer. A new study from scientists at the ...

In response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), chromatin modifications orchestrate DNA repair pathways thus safeguarding genome integrity. Recent studies have uncovered a key role for heterochromatin ...
