Individual cells divide through a process called mitosis, during which the cell's copied DNA is separated between two resulting daughter cells. Despite recent advances in cell biology, the mechanism ...
Researchers identify a novel centromere-specific histone H3 variant called the “CENP-A”, which reconstituted with H4 forms “CENP-A–H4” octasome and explore its role in mitosis. Centromeres, ...
An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study ...
