A joint study conducted by researchers at Babraham Institute, University of Cambridge and the Weizmann Institute has developed new 3D models that accurately show chromosomes' shape, which is more complex than the popular X-shaped blob, and how the DNA within them folds up. The X-shape, often used to describe chromosomes, is only a snapshot of their complexity.

New 3D Models Show Chromosome Structure is More Complex Than a Simple X Shape
