Scientists have challenged the long-held belief that DNA is entirely inaccessible within nucleosomes, using a novel AI-powered computational method. Their research indicates that most nucleosomes contain partially exposed DNA sections, suggesting an unrecognized mechanism for gene control. This discovery implies a more dynamic genome than previously understood, potentially offering new insights into diseases like cancer.
