Therefore, chromatin is further coiled into an even ... the DNA becomes highly compacted into the classic metaphase chromosomes that can be seen with a light microscope. Once a cell has divided ...

Chromatin is the physiological state of the genome. Approximately 50% of chromosomes and chromatin is protein. These include histones, transcription factors, nuclear receptors, co-activators, ...

How the blueprint is stored, however, impacts how it is read and used. As cells divide and replicate, DNA strands coiled around proteins – chromatin – are in tightly bundled chromosomes. After ...

It underscores the crucial role of chromatin—the three-dimensional ... represent distinct lineages with independently evolved ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

We are interested in the mechanism of chromosome replication, a process that is highly conserved across eukaryotes and that involves the duplication of both the chromosomal DNA and its associated ...

This course provides and overview of epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromosome structure, and nuclear organization. We will discuss how molecules help ...

one with XX/XY chromosomes, the type humans and other mammals have, and another with ZZ/ZW, present in birds and butterflies. In addition, researchers identified a new three-dimensional chromatin ...

Dr. Antonio Bedalov studies chromatin, the material that makes up the chromosomes of humans and other eukaryotes. He is learning how chromatin modifications influence important biological events ...
