Those 'DNA knots' weren't knots at all, and the truth is stranger

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Fragile nucleosomes are essential for RNA Polymerase II to transcribe in eukaryotes

Nucleosomes are barriers to RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcribing along gene bodies in eukaryotes. We found that a fragile “tailless nucleosome” could be generated to resolve the Pol II pausing ...
