Thus, the 30-nanometer fiber may be highly irregular and not quite the uniform structure depicted in instructive ... 10,000:1 (depending on the chromosome). This can be thought of as akin to ...

To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells during cell division, each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies. How the cell ...

These motors play distinct roles in manipulating chromosome structure. Swimming motors, similar to RNA polymerases—enzymes that copy DNA sequences into RNA—help expand and contract the ...

Some mutations can affect the structure of one or more chromosomes - these are chromosome structure mutations.

The ongoing major projects in the laboratory focus on the structural biology of CRISPR-Cas surveillance complexes and their suppression by anti-CRISPR proteins (in collaboration with Luciano ...
