Big, biodiverse and beautiful: can Romania’s centuries-old giant haystacks survive modern farming? Traditional methods benefit hundreds of species but as new agricultural techniques take over, the distinctive haystacks mark a vanishing way of life

Dynamic PRC1–CBX8 stabilizes a porous structure of chromatin condensates - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology Here the authors show that a gene-inactivating protein complex packs inactive genes into a dynamic and accessible structure. The study challenges the traditional views that restricted accessibility an...
