Researchers discovered that stiff DNA segments inside nucleosomes physically block chromatin remodeling. The remodeling ...

The nuclei of most human cells contains the entire genome, which would have a length of about six feet if it was fully extended. So this DNA has to be carefully compacted in cells, while still ...

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dovetail Genomics, the industry leader in advanced proximity ligation genomic solutions, today announced details of a new study, led by University of Michigan ...

HOUSTON, NOVEMBER 24, 2025 ― Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside ...

Heat shock (HS) initiates rapid, extensive, and evolutionarily conserved changes in transcription that are accompanied by chromatin decondensation and nucleosome loss at HS loci. Here we have employed ...

A single cell contains 2-3 meters of DNA, meaning that the only way to store it is to package it into tight coils. The solution is chromatin: a complex of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones.

Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by hallucinations, false beliefs about oneself or the world (i.e., delusions), and other disruptions in thought, emotion and ...

Findings surrounding the epigenetic inheritance that takes place in plants may have implications for agriculture, food supplies, and the environment. Now, new research has uncovered a key mechanism in ...
