Orderly mitosis shapes interphase genome architecture

The study will interest researchers studying genome organisation in mitosis. Genomes assume a complex 3D architecture in the interphase cell nucleus. Yet, the molecular mechanisms that determine ...

X doesn't always mark the spot: Researchers challenge idea of chromosome shape

A mixture of DNA and proteins—known as "chromatin"—sits inside every cell nucleus as a jumbled puddle of genetic information. As cells prepare to divide during mitosis, the chromatin is condensed into ...
