One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

June 8 (UPI) --The nucleus of the cell is where the action happens, but it's not easy to analyze the behavior of a massive genome inside an area 50 times smaller than the width of a human hair. Now, ...

A 3D model of the nucleus made with SPRITE: DNA regions in the "inactive hub" on chromosomes 15 (orange) and chromosome 18 (green) coming together around a large nuclear body in the nucleus (blue) ...

A schematic of chromosome and DNA structure in the cell nucleus. Zooming into a cell reveals chromosomes inside the nucleus, and unwinding a chromosome reveals the DNA double helix. The 4D Nucleome ...

In a study published in Nature Methods on December 2, a research team led by Profs. Xu Tao and Ji Wei from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a ...
