New research into mitotic chromosomes has found that they are covered in a liquid-like coating that could allow them to ...

TIANJIN, July 16 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese research team has made a significant leap in the field of synthetic biology by precisely synthesizing and assembling large-scale human DNA and successfully ...

DNA is a resolutely three-dimensional molecule. In animals and plants, long strands are coiled and folded into chromosomes, which store genetic information inside the nucleus of a body’s cells.

Chromatin: Chromosomes are made up of tightly coiled DNA wrapped around proteins called histones, forming a material called chromatin. This compact packaging allows the long DNA molecules to fit ...

A new study by EMBL researchers has shown how chromosomes change shape during cell division. Certain protein complexes help fold DNA into overlapping loops that repel each other, which then stack ...

Chromosomes can be considered as self-organized liquid crystals Nucleosomes are repetitive building blocks introduced in the monotonous linear structure of double-helical DNA.

Each of our 46 chromosomes is composed of double-stranded DNA. During homologous recombination, sections around a double-strand break are cut away, and the ends of the broken DNA molecule invade the ...
