Scientists studied chromatin -- DNA and proteins -- in the nucleus of our cells Scientists have discovered that chromatin in a cell is a solid, not a liquid January 11, 2021 Biochemists have helped answer a fundamental question that has lingered since the discovery of DNA: Is chromatin -- the complex package of DNA and proteins in the nucleus of our cells -- a solid or a liquid? Cell, a team co-led by Jeffrey Hansen, a Colorado State University biochemist and molecular biologist, found that chr...

New understanding of physical properties of chromatin may show how genome is encoded and decoded University of Alberta researchers have found an answer to a fundamental question in genomic biology that has eluded scientists since the discovery of DNA: Within the nucleus of our cells, is the complex package of DNA and proteins called chromatin a solid or a liquid? In a study published in the journal Cell, the research team, led by Department of Oncology professor Michael Hendzel and collaborato...

Discovery finds cellular building block acts as a gel, not liquid as previously believed ANI | Updated: Dec 18, 2020 23:44 IST Washington [US], December 18 (ANI): In a recent study, the research team of Colorado State University, found that chromatin is neither a solid nor a liquid, but something more of a gel. The study was led by Department of Oncology professor Michael Hendzel and collaborator Jeffrey Hansen. Previously, fields such as biochemistry opera...
