This experiment demonstrated that H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 form a discrete protein octamer, which is fully consistent with the presence of a repeating histone-containing unit in the chromatin fiber.

Chemical cross-linking and X-ray studies performed with precisely defined chromatin fiber segments have lent support to the cross-linker model. DNA containing a repeated nucleosome-positioning ...

A study described the three-dimensional architecture of turtle genomes, which fold in a configuration unlike any other animal observed so far.

After division, the chromosomes loosen and chromatin is less compact. How and where the chromatin fiber folds and loops onto ...

A giant musk turtle is one of the two species of turtles studied by a research team led by Nicole Valenzuela, professor of ecology, evolution and ...

Fibers and fabrics play a large role in everyday applications. A fiber is a hair-like strand of material. They are the smallest visible unit of a fabric and are denoted by being extremely long in ...

They are all made of very long molecules called polymers. Not all polymers are good for making fabric, though. The polymers that are the building blocks of fabrics are special because they clump ...

Fiber, a crucial ingredient, plays a significant role in safeguarding the health of our digestive system. Sadly, a lot of us fail to ingest the ample amount of fiber via our meals, resulting in ...
