In contrast, in eukaryotes, all of the cell's chromosomes are stored inside a structure called the nucleus. Each eukaryotic chromosome is composed of DNA coiled and condensed around nuclear ...

the DNA that makes up the cell's chromosomes can be tightly compacted into a structure that is visible under a microscope, or it can be more loosely distributed and resemble a pile of string.

This illustration shows the structure of a chromosome, highlighting how DNA is tightly packed around disc-shaped proteins to form the characteristic X-shaped figure seen during cell division. (Image: ...

Zhang and his colleagues designed a generative AI model called ChromoGen to quickly ‘read’ DNA sequences and predict the ...

Our chromosomes are much longer than the space in which they are packaged in the cell. Chromosome compaction is on the order of several thousand fold, yet these chromosomes have to be unraveled every ...

Each cell of the human body contains two meters of DNA. The whole secret lies in the intricate three-dimensional arrangement that allows DNA strands to be efficiently organized and compacted within ...
