Researchers discovered that stiff DNA segments inside nucleosomes physically block chromatin remodeling. The remodeling ...

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have mapped out the molecular structure of a key part of our chromosomes called telomeres, which play a pivotal part in ...

CORVALLIS, Ore.– Oregon State University researchers have made significant new advances in determining the structure of all possible DNA sequences – a discovery that in one sense takes up where Watson ...
