Inside cells, DNA is intimately associated with proteins, forming chromatin. The protein constituents of chromatin vary across the tree of life: histones are the principal building blocks of chromatin...

High-dimensional data are visualized through representation on tree structures.

Abstract. Faithful DNA segregation in bacteria relies on ParABS systems, in which ParB assembles into condensates at centromere-like parS sites, while the
