However, the structure of chromatin also appears to serve a second, possibly more important role, in that it gives eukaryotic cells the capability to exert complex levels of control over gene ...

During interphase, individual chromosomes are not visible, and the chromatin appears ... Because the centrosomes are located outside the nucleus in animal cells, the microtubules of the developing ...

The work was published today in Cell Research. Chromatin comprises sections of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes collectively. One chromatin remodeling mechanism ...

Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this process can ...

Varshavsky studied chromatin structure and wanted to develop new methods to detect the DNA-protein interplay in intact cells. Motivated to better understand chromatin structural organization, ...
