The basic repeating structural (and functional) unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, which contains eight histone proteins and about 146 base pairs of DNA (Van Holde, 1988; Wolffe, 1999).

The chromatin landscape is a key aspect of epigenetic regulation in eukaryotes. Old histones are recycled during DNA replication, therefore providing a blueprint for the duplication of their ...

The research could contribute to the development of more effective anti-aging treatments in the future. The body's aging ...

The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests.

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

A novel, freely available AI tool has cut the time it takes to determine chromatin structure from days to minutes. The 3D ...

New AI model takes minutes rather than days to predict how a specific DNA sequence will arrange itself in the cell nucleus.

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. Lis and Gilmour focused on identifying proteins that bound to specific chromatin sites to understand the mechanisms of gene regulation. To do so, ...

Mutations that disrupt the assembly of chromatin at telomeres cause DNA damage and are found in essentially all ‘ALT’ type cancer cells (some 10-15 % of all tumour types), underlining the importance ...

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 ...
