In contrast, in eukaryotes, all of the cell's chromosomes are stored inside a structure called the nucleus. Each eukaryotic chromosome is composed of DNA coiled and condensed around nuclear ...

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK ...

At different times during the life cycle of a cell, the DNA that makes up the cell's chromosomes can be tightly compacted into a structure that is visible under a microscope, or it can be more ...

This gene encodes a component of a protein structure called the synaptonemal complex, which connects chromosome pairs during the formation of germ cells. SYCP3Y is duplicated from autosomes and ...

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that comprise the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...

Some mutations can affect the structure of one or more chromosomes - these are chromosome structure mutations.

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK Leibniz Institute (IPK) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.
