A mixture of DNA and proteins—known as "chromatin"—sits inside every cell nucleus as a jumbled puddle of genetic information. As cells prepare to divide during mitosis, the chromatin is condensed into ...

Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

This valuable study analyzes aging-related chromatin changes through the lens of intra-chromosomal gene correlation length, which is a novel computational metric that captures spatial correlations in ...

A genomic analysis of over 1,200 people from across South Africa reveals how colonial-era European, Indigenous Khoe-San ...

Chromosomes continuously develop their shape during cell divisions. Mitotic chromosomes gradually shorten and thicken. Longer ...
