The chain of nucleosomes is then compacted further and forms a highly organized complex of DNA and protein called a chromosome.

(A) Remodelling complexes of the SWR1 family can remove the canonical H2A-H2B dimers and replace them with Htz1-H2B dimers (indicated in green), forming a variant nucleosome with unique tails that ...

DNA—the molecule that carries the genetic information of all living organisms—is packaged within cells in a complex manner that allows it to function efficiently. Nucleosomes facilitate DNA ...

This organization can be explained by weak interactions between nucleosomes, which are the repetitive blocks that fold the ...

Researchers recently tracked small stretches of DNA wound around histone proteins, called nucleosomes, to better characterize ...
