A novel, freely available AI tool has cut the time it takes to determine chromatin structure from days to minutes. The 3D structure of DNA is important for controlling cell-specific gene expression ...

Polyploid plants carry multiple ancestral genomes within a single nucleus, a condition that can boost adaptability but also trigger internal genetic conflict.

A recent study has shed light on the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of Penicillium expansum, the fungal culprit behind blue mold disease in fruits. By mapping chromatin accessibility at ...

Chromatin is a unique DNA and protein complex that makes up the chromosomes. Specific proteins (histones) wind up the DNA like small cable drums to package the long DNA. A cable drum (consisting of ...

Chromatin's structure plays an important regulatory role in DNA template-dependent processes including transcription, replication, recombination, repair, segregation, chromosomal stability, cell cycle ...

Through a series of experiments supported by the National Institutes of Health, Johns Hopkins Medicine (JHM) researchers say they have advanced understanding of how smoking damages the eye and ...
