Scientists Develop the First Atomic View of Key Genetic Processes (1 of 2) (VIDEO)
Caption
Scientists at Penn State University have created the first 3-D picture of genetic processes that happen inside every cell of our bodies. The picture is the first-ever image of a protein interacting with DNA in its tightly packed "nucleosome" form. The research, which reveals new information about genetic processes, is expected to aid future investigations into diseases such as cancer. This 3-D animation illustrates the RCC1 chromatin protein interacting with the nucleosome.
