Chromosome contacts. A wide range of animal (colored yellow on the evolutionary tree at center), plant (green) and fungal (blue) species package chromosomes inside the cell nucleus one of two ways ...

In a study published in the April 17 issue of Current Biology, UIC and UIUC researchers show that chromosomes in the cell nucleus are capable of directed, long-range movement that depends on actin ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell's nucleus, explaining why it must be ...

Machine learning method reveals chromosome locations in individual cell nucleus. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 04 / 240409124004.htm ...

Educators and scientists should discard the idea that a cell's nucleus is just a bag of chromosomes, according to Johns Hopkins' cell biologist Kathy Wilson, Ph.D. In a Feb. 17 session at the ...

Now, scientists at the Salk Institute have discovered a new characteristic of human cell division that may help explain how our DNA is organized in the nucleus as cells reproduce. They found that ...

The nucleus of a cell from a frog's intestine is transplanted into a frog's egg and gives rise to a normal frog. Such experiments aid the study of how genes are controlled during embryonic ...

A human cell carries in its nucleus two meters of spiraling DNA, split up among the 46 slender, double-helical molecules that are its chromosomes. Most of the time, that DNA looks like a tangled ...

Inside a nucleus, chromosomes jumble together like a game of Twister. This can bring regulatory elements, such as enhancers, from one chromosome into contact with genes from another chromosome, ...
