The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the ...

This indicates that the basic chromosome structure had been preserved over 50,000 years in ice, even as the underlying chromosome had decayed into ever-smaller fragments.

Changes in chromosome structure in any individual cell are probably of no importance. That one cell won't function well and might die soon. Translocations are important when they occur in a large ...

An international research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in research into the reproduction of dogrose. The ...

It has been known for several years that abnormal chromosome numbers lead to protein imbalances in the affected cells.

These motors play distinct roles in manipulating chromosome structure. Swimming motors, similar to RNA polymerases—enzymes ...

"This research provides a deeper understanding of how motorized processes shape chromosome structures and influence cellular functions," said Peter Wolynes, study co-author and the D.R. Bullard ...

The ‘Y’ chromosome essential for developing male features is gradually disappearing What does it mean for the future of male ...

For decades, the Y chromosome — one of the two human sex chromosomes — has been notoriously challenging for the genomics community to sequence due to the complexity of its structure. Now, this elusive ...

Researchers mapped Y chromosome loss across thousands of individual cells from human cancers, with disturbing results.

Researchers unearthed the 52,000-year-old remains in 2018 near the village of Belaya Gora in northeastern Siberia, where freezing temperatures helped preserve the structure of the chromosomes ...

A new study is the first to conclusively establish that chromosomal arm length determines mitotic chromosome width. The findings challenge prevalent models of chromosome formation during mitotic ...
