Article Abstract
The first description of intrachromosomal fibers was made by Baranetzky in 1880. Since that time, a plethora of fibrillar substructures have been described inside the mitotic chromosomes, and published data indicate that chromosomes may be formed as a result of the hierarchical folding of chromatin fibers. In this review, we examine the evolution and the current state of research on the morphological organization of mitotic chromosomes.

The molecular clock exhibits distinct characteristics across various tissues and can be synchronized by particular stimuli. Furthermore, there is an intricate interplay among the molecular clocks within different tissues. In this context, we present an overview of the tissue-specific molecular clock and discuss pivotal nonphotic regulators that govern the host's circadian rhythms and metabolic processes.

An adverse gestational environment is a risk factor for the development of psychiatric disorders. Although studies have implicated modifications in neuronal DNA and chromatin, how these changes come about and lead to abnormal behaviors is not known. We sought to identify persistent DNA/chromatin and transcriptomic signatures induced by a proinflammatory gestational environment in the ventral dentate gyrus (vDG), a hippocampal region linked to anxiety.

Prenatal and postnatal skeletal muscle development in ruminants is coordinated by interactions between genetic, nutritional, epigenetic, and endocrine factors. This review focuses on the influence of maternal nutrition during gestation on fetal myogenesis, satellite cell dynamics, and myogenic regulatory factors expression, including , , and . Studies in sheep and cattle indicate that nutrient restriction or overnutrition alters muscle fiber number, the cross-sectional area, and the transcriptional regulation of myogenic genes in offspring.

The structural organization of chromatin is intricately influenced by the length of linker DNA connecting nucleosomes. Some studies have suggested that preferred linker lengths include 10n and 10n+5 base pairs values (n = integer). Because these lengths dictate the rotational orientation of successive nucleosomes in the fiber axis, they can markedly affect chromatin fiber compaction and topology.

Timely up- or down-regulation of gene expression is crucial for cellular differentiation and function. While gene upregulation transcriptional activators has been extensively investigated, gene silencing remains understudied, especially by modelling. This study employs 3D simulations to study the biophysics of a chromatin fibre where active transcription factors compete with repressors for binding to transcription units along the fibre, and investigates how different silencing mechanisms affect 3D chromatin structure and transcription.
