Each of us has enough DNA to reach from here to the sun and back, more than 300 times. How is all of that DNA packaged so tightly into chromosomes and squeezed into a tiny nucleus? Histones are a ...

So, this whole idea of chromatin packing and chromatin folding comes into play, of where are the genes in the cell, and how are they regulated that way,” remarked Cosgrove. “Generally, methylation at ...

This packaging, called chromatin, acts as a guide. It tells the cell how, where and when to 'read' and use the information in ...

Chromatin structure describes the physical structure of chromatin within the eukaryotic nucleus and how structure affects chromatin processes such as transcription. The repeating unit of chromatin ...

This modification draws a protein called MBD6, which regulates chromatin packaging. TET2 releases some of the constraints ...

Specifically, she works on how viruses use these DNA-packaging proteins, also known as chromatin proteins, to manipulate the host to their own ends. The Avgousti Lab is focused on the mechanisms by ...
