DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...
