- the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus consisting of DNA and RNA and various proteins; during mitotic division it condenses into chromosomes
How To Use chromatin In A Sentence
- It is, however, evident that this action on chromatin is most important for proper functioning of the genome and for maintenance of genome integrity. Advanced Information: The 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
- While this is happening, what appeared at first to be a spaghettilike jumble of the ninety-two chromatin strands condenses into chromosomes that upon close examination are actually twenty-three pairs of pairs, that is forty-six pairs or ninety-two chromosomes in all. THE HIDDEN FACE OF GOD
- Chromatin was sheared by sonication, and DNA associated with either CLF1 or ORC1 was separately co-immunoprecipitated using an anti-HA antibody.
- Thus, the density of genes in heterochromatin is about 1% of that in euchromatin.
- However, none of the above chromatin remodelling factors binds to specific DNA sequences.
- A chromatin bridge would form at the meiotic anaphase by passage of the two centromeres on the dicentric chromosome to opposite poles of the spindle. Nobel Lecture The Significance of Responses of the Genome to Challenge
- Slides containing F 2 worms were screened for the presence of worms with diakinesis nuclei exhibiting more than six chromatin masses (indicating failure in bivalent formation).
- Minimally, the binding of protein to this element should alter the chromatin structure of the promoter.
- The concept of functional units of regulation supposes the presence of chromatin loop domains, delimited by sequences known as chromatin boundaries.
- Rather, the DNA in chromatin must be wrapped on the outside of the histone octamer. Roger D. Kornberg - Autobiography
