DNA Packing: One of the Supreme Wonders of Nature
The cell packs two meters of DNA into a 10-micron nucleus. How? The machinery is as intelligently designed as the genome itself.
Cells Use Loop Extrusion to Keep DNA Optimized
A paper illustrates the action of DNA loop extrusion processes, which serve multiple functions to maintain the genome, with an interesting graphic: gears.
More Hints of Order in the Genome
Genomics has come a long way since the central dogma and junk DNA. If you expect to find reasons for things, you often do find them.
