Scientists were able to identify chromosomes under the microscope as early as the 19th century. But what did it take for them to figure out how important chromosomes really are?

Human chromosomes can be differentiated from one another under a microscope by their lengths and by the position of the centromere.

The new work solves a biological mystery that dates back more than a century, Dekker says, when scientists first spied chromosomes under the microscope. Most of the time, our cells' chromosomes ...

This moment gives scientists a chance to inspect chromosomes under a microscope and see if something is amiss. By staining the EGFR gene red and the chromosomes blue, Mischel discovered that the ...

To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport ... have directly observed this process in high resolution under the microscope using a new chromatin tracing method.

special colored dyes are attached to specific parts of certain chromosomes in order to visualize and count them under a fluorescent microscope and to detect cancer-promoting abnormalities.

Under the microscope, such a parcel looks like an X. It is exciting to finally understand at a molecular and atomic level how the iconic X-shape of chromosomes during cell division is generated ...

They used a convolutional neural network (CNN), a type of machine learning algorithm particularly well suited to image recognition and trained it on more than 600 images of chromosomes which had ...
