Barth: "Having found commonalities among SMC motors helps to focus and streamline the SMC research field. We don't have to look for a new mechanism for every individual type of SMC protein anymore.

Our chromosomes are much longer than the space in which they are packaged in the cell. Chromosome compaction is on the order of several thousand fold, yet these chromosomes have to be unraveled every ...
