The most obvious difference between interphase and mitosis involves the appearance of a cell's chromosomes. During interphase, individual chromosomes are not visible, and the chromatin appears ...

How the cell achieves this feat remains largely unknown. Now, for the first time, EMBL scientists have directly observed this process in high resolution under the microscope using a new chromatin ...

A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...

the investigators started with whole chromatin from chicken blood cells of different ages or differentiation stages. They next broke up the DNA from each cell type and isolated histones that bore ...

Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this process can ...

The human body contains about 100 trillion cells, each working together in a complex ... of these loops results from the helical coiling of chromatin (the thick line in this illustration).

Chromatin, the mix of DNA and protein that houses each cell's genome ... chemically built chromatin in a test tube at two distinct stages in its lifecycle—recently formed and very old, with ...

New research delves into the DNA details and chromatin structures that may predict prognosis in early-stage lung ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital used a series of cryo-EM structures to visualize dynamics pivotal to ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details about the genetic structure of ovarian cancer stem cells, according to a study published in Advanced Science. Inside cells, DNA mixes ...

They now describe their findings about an intermediate stage ... Cell Biology is researching how cells and their endosymbionts have adapted to and evolved in symbiosis with each other over the ...

A novel technique to visualize gene-active and gene-repressive DNA regions in living cells, developed by a ...
