Kim, S.H. (author), Ganji, M. (author), Kim, E. (author), van der Torre, J. (author), Abbondanzieri, E. (author), Dekker, C. (author)The three-dimensional organization of DNA is increasingly understood to play a decisive role in vital cellular processes. Many studies focus on the role of DNA-packaging proteins, crowding, and confinement in arranging chromatin, but structural information might also be directly encoded in bare DNA itself. Here, we visualize plectonemes ...journal article 2018

Holub, M. (author), Birnie, A.T.F. (author), Japaridze, A. (author), van der Torre, J. (author), Ridder, Maxime den (author), de Ram, C. (author), Pabst, Martin (author), Dekker, C. (author)Chromosome structure and function is studied using various cell-based methods as well as with a range of in vitro single-molecule techniques on short DNA substrates. Here, we present a method to obtain megabase-pair-length deproteinated DNA for in vitro studies. We isolated chromosomes from bacterial cells and enzymatically digested the...journal article 2022
