During interphase, the cell's DNA is not condensed and is loosely distributed. A stain for heterochromatin (which indicates the position of chromosomes) shows this broad distribution of chromatin in a ...
“It’s really exciting to be able to visualize these movements,” said Daniel Abraham, a senior materials scientist in Argonne’s Chemical Sciences and Engineering (CSE) division and one of the study’s ...
Chromatin is mobile in the cell nucleus and undergoes movements that are best described as constrained diffusion. The extent of chromatin mobility is maximal in the early G1 phase of the cell cycle ...
