Chromatin structure describes the physical structure of chromatin within the eukaryotic nucleus and how structure affects chromatin processes such as transcription. The repeating unit of chromatin ...

Therefore, chromatin is further coiled into an even ... Thus, the 30-nanometer fiber may be highly irregular and not quite the uniform structure depicted in instructive drawings such as Figure ...

The proper folding of the chromatin structure plays a crucial role in the regulation of genomic DNA functions, its disruption leading to various diseases. Therefore, understanding the chromatin ...

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 ...

Nuclear condensates play many important roles in chromatin functions, but how cells regulate their nucleation and growth within the complex nuclear environment is not well understood. Here, we report ...

Every day, our cells divide. Each time they need to copy both their DNA and the structure in which the DNA is packed. This packaging, called chromatin, acts as a guide. It tells the cell how, where ...

This interesting study presents valuable information on how human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection disrupts the activity of the TEAD1 transcription factor, leading to widespread chromatin alterations.
