How DNA is Packaged (Advanced)
Each chromosome consists of one continuous thread-like molecule of DNA coiled tightly around proteins, and contains a portion of the 6,400,000,000 basepairs (DNA building blocks) that make up your DNA. Originally created for DNA Interactive ( http://www.dnai.org ). TRANSCRIPT: In this animation ...Tags: DNA, Chromosome, Packaging

Breaking chromosomes to study cancer !!!
Chromosomes are present in every cell of our body and they contain the information the body needs to develop and function properly. This information is carried in genes that are arranged along the chromosomes. There are usually 46 chromosomes in every cell. These chromosomes come in pairs, one fr...Tags: Bioinformatics, Chromosome, Breaks, Translocation

Dynamic chromosome breakpoints !!!
Cell division involves the distribution of identical genetic material, DNA, to two daughters’ cells. During this process, duplicated deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) goes through a condensation and decondensation process. This is followed by nuclear envelope dissolution, mitotic spindle assembly...Tags: Bioinformatics, Genome, Chromosome, Breaks, Breakpoints, EBRs, Recombination, Cross-over, Abnormalities, DNA
