University of Alberta researchers have found an answer to a fundamental question in genomic biology that has eluded scientists since the discovery of DNA: Within the nucleus of our cells, is the ...

Ultimately, everything is governed by the laws of physics, including gene regulation. Why is it, then, that that the laws of physics are so sparingly consulted when biologists describe chromatin, that ...

A cell's nucleus has to hold the entire genome. To do that, the DNA must be carefully arranged and compacted by proteins called histones into a complex known as chromatin. Now scientists have ...

Chromatin remodelling refers to the dynamic changes in the structure of chromatin, for example the repositioning, removal, and modification of nucleosomes, the structural unit of chromatin. Chromatin ...

The process of aging in the body may be more resilient than previously believed, according to a new study. The research, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society by scientists at King ...
