Chapter 5 · p. 68Bioinformatics refers to the development and application of computational tools and techniques to analyze biological data. It encompasses:
Chapter 11 · p. 144One of the most fascinating features of the nucleus is its ability to store approximately two meters of DNA within a space just a few microns in diameter. This incredible feat is achieved by compacting DNA into a structure called chromatin, which is a complex of DNA and proteins. The key proteins involved in chromatin formation are called histones.
