Whether the chromosomes of such bacteria adopt defined three-dimensional structures remains unexplored. Here we combine Hi-C and super-resolution microscopy to determine the structure of the ...

Craig Venter Institute has created the largest man-made DNA structure by synthesizing ... cerevisiae to rapidly build the entire bacterial chromosome from large subassemblies.

Prokaryotes are the group of organisms including bacteria and archaea ... nucleus of the eukaryote, chromosomes have a sequence-based and well defined structure, while in prokaryotes there is ...

at one end of the structure and the midpoint of the chromosome located at the opposite end. This is a similar arrangement to that seen in some other larger bacterial species. The scientists also used ...

Researchers show that transposons can target and insert themselves at the ends of linear chromosomes, called telomeres, within their bacterial host. In Streptomyces -- historically one of the most ...

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 ...

The chromosome, was incorporated into brewer’s yeast, was built using a computer redesign of the structure. Scientists created the “thread-like structure piece by piece in the laboratory.” ...

Transposons have been found clustered at the chromosome ends in eukaryotic cells, but this is the first time it's been documented in bacteria with linear chromosomes, and the researchers found ...
