  2. Heterochromatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromatin

    Heterochromatin has been associated with the di-and tri-methylation of H3K9 in certain portions of the human genome. [5] H3K9me3-related methyltransferases appear to have a pivotal role in modifying heterochromatin during lineage commitment at the onset of organogenesis and in maintaining lineage fidelity. [6]

  3. Human genome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

    The human genome was the first of all vertebrates to be sequenced to such near-completion, and as of 2018, the diploid genomes of over a million individual humans had been determined using next-generation sequencing. [61] These data are used worldwide in biomedical science, anthropology, forensics and other branches of science.

  4. Constitutive heterochromatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutive_heterochromatin

    In humans these regions account for about 200Mb or 6.5% of the total human genome, but their repeat composition makes them difficult to sequence, so only small regions have been sequenced. Visualization of constitutive heterochromatin is possible by using the C-banding technique.

  5. Satellite DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_DNA

    Low-resolution sequencing-based studies have demonstrated variation in human population satellite array lengths as well as in the frequency of certain sequence and structural variations (11–13, 29). However, due to a lack of full centromere assemblies, base-level understanding of satellite array variation and evolution has remained weak. [5]

  6. Heterochromatin protein 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromatin_protein_1

    The family of heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) ("Chromobox Homolog", CBX) consists of highly conserved proteins, which have important functions in the cell nucleus.These functions include gene repression by heterochromatin formation, transcriptional activation, regulation of binding of cohesion complexes to centromeres, sequestration of genes to the nuclear periphery, transcriptional arrest ...

    A new study rooted in genetic modeling from experts across the world says that there is substantial evidence that we came from a whole bunch of places

  8. G banding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_banding

    Heterochromatic regions, which tend to be rich with adenine and thymine (AT-rich) DNA and relatively gene-poor, stain more darkly in G-banding. In contrast, less condensed chromatin ( Euchromatin )—which tends to be rich with guanine and cytosine ( GC-rich ) and more transcriptionally active—incorporates less Giemsa stain , and these ...

  9. Oldest human DNA reveals lost branch of the human family tree

    Human DNA recovered from remains found in Europe is revealing our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. The trove is the oldest Homo sapiens DNA ever documented, scientists say.
