Chromatin is a DNA–protein complex that is densely packed in the cell nucleus. The nanoscale chromatin compaction plays critical roles in the modulation of cell nuclear processes. However, little is ...

The shape of plant nuclei varies among different species, tissues, and cell types. In Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings, nuclei in meristems and guard cells are nearly spherical, whereas those of ...

In this article, we are providing you the MCQs on Class 9 Science Chapter 5: The Fundamental Unit of Life with answers. All these questions will help you revise the important topics and concepts for ...

Modifications of the chromatin are crucial for the regulation of nearly all DNA-templated biological processes. Single-cell chromatin modification profiling can be used to assess chromatin ...

The inside of a cell is very organized. Just as bodies contain internal organs, cells contain many different compartments, called ‘organelles’, each with its own specific role. Most organelles are ...

In the interests of transparency, eLife publishes the most substantive revision requests and the accompanying author responses. Thank you for submitting your article "Nucleolar dynamics and ...

We describe a molecular sensor that reports, using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), on the degree of macromolecular crowding in different cellular compartments. The oligonucleotide-based ...

Centromeres are known as specific chromatin domains without which eukaryotic cells cannot divide properly during mitosis. Despite the considerable efforts to understand the centromere/kinetochore ...
