AMES, Iowa, Nov. 12 (TNSres) -- Iowa State University issued the following news release:
In their long strings of nucleotides, DNA molecules hold massive troves of genetic data providing instructions for how living organisms should function - the blueprint of life. How the blueprint is stored, however, impacts how it is read and used.
As cells divide and replicate, DNA strands coiled around proteins - chromatin - are in tightly bundled chromosomes. After division, the c . . .
