BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- The structure of how DNA is stored in archaea makes a significant difference to how quickly it evolves, according to a new study by Indiana University researchers. "The most ...

Disabling one gene radically alters 3D chromosome structure. Loosening Up Researchers have uncovered a key way that human and mosquito DNA are structured differently from one another — and ...

The DNA is first wound around proteins to form chromatin, which is further wound and packed tightly to create chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell, with one of each coming ...

Higher Genome and mutations Chromosome structure mutations DNA replication is carefully controlled to preserve the genetic information. However, changes in the genome do sometimes occur.

The structure of how DNA is stored in archaea makes a significant difference to how quickly it evolves, according to a new study by Indiana University researchers. The study, led by molecular ...

Conserved chromosome structure This Hi-C analysis looked at arrangements at the chromosome compartment level. It shows which genes are physically close to each other in three-dimensional space in the ...

Based on the size of DNA fragments typically found in the mammoth genome, the researchers estimate that chromosome features down to roughly 50 nanometers had been preserved and that it was likely ...

The human genetic blueprint is deceptively simple. Our genes are tightly wound into 46 X-shaped structures called chromosomes. Crafted by evolution, they carry DNA and replicate when cells divide, ...
