Chromatic aberration ping.

Discoveries tend to have that effect on textbooks.

Well, it IS sometimes necessary to revise text books when new information is discovered. Particularly when that information relates to the field covered by said text books.

What a strange headline...

Nucleosomes would the the material that conservatives are made of.

Pre-nucleosomes would be the material that liberals and progressives are made of.

Liberals and progressives haven’t fully developed or matured into right thinking individuals. Liberals/progressives are the missing link that biologists and researchers have been looking for.

Conservatives might have some pre-nucleosomes in their makeup, but, that’s why we still say that “nobody’s perfect”.

[Oceander]

I dunno; watching some of the shenanigans that go on with textbook committees, I always assumed that textbooks were only ever revised for political changes, and the facts themselves be damned.

[Immerito]

Anything but that! Oh the humanity!

[gleeaikin]

Gee wiz, could we have a bit of intelligent discussion here. For instance, I am wondering if this has anything to do with epigenetics? Or would this perhaps explain recent studies wherein the health and nutrition of grandparents seems to have an impact on the grandchildren even if the parents seem healthy, and if I recall correctly the effects are more pronounced on males?

“nucleosomes look like beads on a string”

I've been told my DNA looks like a pearl necklace.

[ApplegateRanch]

These pre-nucleosomes, the researchers say, are converted into nucleosomes by a motor protein that uses the energy molecule ATP (see graphic).

ATP?!? Oh, NO!!!!! Does this mean I have to relearn a REVISED Kreb's Cycle? Noooooooooooooooooo!

Do I have to retake AP Bio?
