Imaging chromatin condensates (VIDEO)
Caption
A team of researchers led by HHMI Investigator Michael Rosen has captured the most detailed images yet of the molecules in synthetic chromatin condensates — droplet-like structures of compacted DNA. These movies show images of the chromatin condensate obtained by cryo-electron tomography, revealing the individual nucleosomes making up the droplet, followed by a high-resolution reconstruction of the nucleosomes in the chromatin condensate.
