Under Pressure: How CHESS Helped Reveal Hidden Differences in Our DNA Packaging
How does pressure affect the molecules that organize our DNA? Using high-pressure X-ray scattering at CHESS, researchers revealed surprising differences between conventional and centromeric nucleosomes. This research sheds light on how our genetic material withstands extreme conditions and stays resilient under stress.
