Many diseases are caused by a missing or defective copy of a single gene. For decades, scientists have been working on gene ...

which is packaged into chromatin—a mixture of DNA and proteins in a cell’s nucleus that helps keep DNA organized and compact. When chromatin is loosely packed, its DNA is more spread out, making it ...

which is the phenomenon of fitting DNA into dense compact forms (Figure 7). During DNA packaging, long pieces of double-stranded DNA are tightly looped, coiled, and folded so that they fit easily ...

Biomemory's DNA-based solutions address data storage issues DNA storage is compact, durable, environmentally friendly $18M funding supports product development and industry partnerships Biomemory, a ...

engineered the tobacco rattle virus to carry a compact CRISPR-like enzyme called ISYmu1 to target specific DNA sequences in the model mustard plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Importantly, the genome ...

so modified or remodeled chromatin can be returned to its compact state after transcription and/or replication are complete. When eukaryotic cells divide, genomic DNA must be equally partitioned ...
