DNA is found in nearly all living cells. However ... thereby compacting it enough to fit inside the nucleus (Figure 8). Together, eukaryotic DNA and the histone proteins that hold it together ...

DNA comprises the genes and chromosomes that govern the development of an individual organism. Coiled inside the nucleus of the cell, DNA stores all the information needed in reproducing that ...

One hypothesis is that the DNA loops could determine which genes are switched on in the cell. Inside a nucleus, chromosomes jumble together like a game of Twister. This can bring regulatory elements, ...

What if you could take a picture of every gene inside a living organism—not with light, but with DNA itself? Scientists at ...

Like the plasma membrane, organelle membranes function to keep the inside ... surrounds the nucleus — commonly called the nuclear envelope — partitions this DNA from the cell's protein ...

In 2015, Mekhail and collaborators showed how motor proteins deep inside the nucleus of yeast cells transport double-strand ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

Ring-shaped extrachromosomal DNA is implicated in many cancers. Rachel Brazil talks to the scientists trying to uncover their ...

The nucleus inside a cell is an important organelle involved in almost all biological phenomena, such as DNA replication and ...

A breakthrough in safely delivering therapeutic DNA to cells could transform treatment for millions suffering from common chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
