DNA loop extrusion by structural-maintenance-of-chromosome (SMC) complexes has emerged as a primary organizing principle for chromosomes. The mechanism by which SMC motor proteins extrude DNA loops is ...
The three-dimensional organization of chromatin within the nucleus is key to understanding the biophysical origin of critical cellular activities ranging from cell fate decisions to migration, ...
Human chromosomes are long polymer chains that store genetic information. The nucleus of each cell contains the entire human genome (DNA) encoded on 46 chromosomes with a total length of about 2 ...
