At different times during the life cycle of a cell, 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 ...

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 proteins called histones.

These findings help us better understand the structure and function of our chromosomes. They also provide insight into how disruption of twisted DNA looping can affect health -- for instance ...

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that make up the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...

In most animal, plant and fungal cells DNA is stored in the nucleus coiled up in thread-like structures called chromosomes. The nucleus of one of your skin cells contains about two metres of DNA ...

These motors play distinct roles in manipulating chromosome structure. Swimming motors, similar to RNA polymerases—enzymes ...
