This DNA is wrapped around proteins to form chromatin, which exists in two main forms: euchromatin, where genes are active, and heterochromatin, where gene activity is suppressed. "How these two ...

Canadian and American genome projects to demonstrate that a genomic sequence as large as that of Drosophila melanogaster euchromatin (120 Mb) can be obtained by assembling the sequence of random ...

The movie shows nucleosome fluctuations in euchromatin (left), where gene expression is active, and in heterochromatin (right), where gene expression is repressed. Each dot represents an ...
