“Just the idea that 2-meter-long DNA can be wrapped up in a tiny cell is just mind-boggling” – Dr. Peter Park on how NIH-supported research led to key discoveries about DNA organization’s impact on health & disease. Watch the full video:

imagine that all of the next set of discoveries like this are not going to happen in the USA because NIH is being gutted.

This image of DNA sucks too. It's right-handed, but there are ~30 base pairs per turn (or 15 per half turn, between strand crossings). It should be ~10 per turn, or 5 per half turn. Do better, @NIH. I know you have good structural biologists at NIH who can help you.

It's incredible what nature can do! The complexity of DNA organization really shows how advanced life is.

The way our DNA folds inside cells is astonishing—and this NIH-supported research sheds light on how that organization influences health and disease.

SICK BASTARDS.

It's the miracle of Nature. Everything well organized until Nature goes awry. The next miracle is the ingenuity of the scientific mind able to find ways to fix most things that go wrong. It's amazing how many problems can be fixed when a baby is in the womb using advanced microtechnology.

Have you ever seen how DNA is organized? It's astounding. A single strand of your DNA, when stretched out, is ~2 meters, or ~6.5 feet long. If you stretched out all the DNA in your body end to end, it could cross the entire solar system, from the sun to Pluto, 17 times. You could wrap all your DNA around the Earth like a rubber band ball almost 2 million times. The storage capacity of DNA is so high that all the world’s digital data (estimated around 175 zettabytes by 2025) could theoretically be stored in just 178lbs of DNA. Imagine, one single server that could handle the entire world's annual data needs. And yet, all of this fits inside the nucleus of a cell, invisible to the naked eye. How is that even possible? To prevent DNA from becoming an tangled mess, unusable for anything, it is organized and packed very specifically. If not for this organization, DNA would be completely unusable for any of Life's processes. It would clump together, unable to be pulled apart to be read by the many interacting molecular systems. To start, smaller segments of DNA are coiled tightly around a special protein called a Histone, whose sole job is to keep DNA organized. This coiled product is called a Nucleosome, which are then further coiled and packed together into long fibers call Chromatin. Chromatin then is further coiled into larger structures called Chromosomes. This organization is not only incredibly efficient, but it also provides functionality to the DNA itself. Chromosome and Chromatin architecture actually effects how DNA functions and communicates with the different systems in the cell, and the number of chromosomes is important to overall function of the DNA in an organism. Without this specific organization, Life could not exist. What does this mean? This means DNA could not have evolved and functioned without simultaneous organization. And DNA can't be organized without the proteins and systems that hold it all together. On top of that, the fact that how DNA is organized affects its function is a clear sign of foresight and planning - all clear signs of intelligent design. The more we learn about molecular biology, the more obvious it is that this was all Created intelligently.
