These protein-imposed DNA distortions should lead to a susceptibility of the protein−DNA complexes to mechanical tensions in DNA , and thus to chromosome organization 16,17 in which the extent ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Google DeepMind in London could help scientists to make sense of this ...

Alphabet Inc.’s Google DeepMind today introduced AlphaGenome, a new artificial intelligence tool that can comprehensively ...

Researchers have discovered a long-overlooked process important for converting a long, string-like DNA molecule into a chromosome. This finding gives us a better understanding of the mechanism of ...

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

DNA is perhaps the most famous molecule on earth. Here we explain what it is, ... Each chromosome contains one DNA molecule. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosomes in total.

Instead, researchers suspect that the position of the centromere is regulated epigenetically with the help of the centromere-specific DNA packaging protein (histone) CENH3/CENP-A. Histone proteins, ...

Chromosomes consist of a protein and a single molecule of DNA. Chromosomes make us who we are. Your DNA blueprint (genome) doesn't exist as one continuous scroll tightly rolled up in the nucleus ...

Chromosomes are tightly coiled structures in each of your cells that contain DNA, the code for all life. DNA is organized in segments on chromosomes called genes. Humans typically have 46 ...

Rethinking Models of DNA Organization in Micrometer‐Sized Chromosomes from the Perspective of the Nanoproperties of Chromatin Favoring a Multilayer Structure. Small Structures , 2024; DOI: 10. ...
