Overview

Chromosomal DNA is the deoxyribonucleic acid that, together with associated proteins, makes up the chromosomes found in the nucleus of a cell. It carries the genetic instructions that direct the growth, development, function, and reproduction of living organisms, encoded in the sequence of its four nucleotide bases. Within the chromosome, the long DNA molecule is tightly wound around histone proteins and packaged into chromatin, an arrangement that allows a vast amount of genetic material to fit inside the nucleus while still permitting the DNA to be read, copied, and repaired. Chromosomal DNA is faithfully replicated before cell division and distributed to daughter cells, ensuring the inheritance of genetic information across generations, and changes to its sequence or structure underlie genetic variation, mutation, and many diseases. As the molecular basis of heredity and the substance of chromosomes themselves, chromosomal DNA is central to the study of genetics and cell biology covered by the journal Chromosomes. Research relevant to this topic in the journal and affiliated titles includes a study of the chromosomes of the organism Dictyostelium giganteum and work on proteomic and genomic techniques in medical research. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to chromosomal DNA and chromosome biology.
