To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter ... led by Andreas Brunner and recently published in the Journal of Cell Biology, shows that the nested loop mechanism is ...

The biological research of UC Santa Cruz’s Needhi Bhalla to determine the molecular motions at the heart of heredity has ...

Thus, in her experiments, McClintock observed several fundamental properties of chromosome biology; specifically, she noticed that cells do not tolerate the presence of unprotected chromosome ends ...

The nucleus of each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome contains about 1000 genes. There is enough DNA in all the cells in a human body to stretch to the sun and back again ...

Chromosomes that lack centromeres segregate ... Given the large amount of current research interest in centromere biology, it seems likely that the centromere has a few more surprises in store ...

Others cells in your body contain 46 chromosomes: 23 from your father and 23 from your mother. Your egg (or sperm) cells contain only half that number—a total of 23 chromosomes. When an egg and ...

Cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes consequently activate mechanisms to prevent their propagation. In a study published in Nature Cell Biology, scientists reveal how these chromosomal ...

For the first time, researchers have fused two mouse chromosomes together in vitro, resulting in living mice with new karyotypes. The new technique, detailed in a study published today (August 25) in ...

Utrecht University has appointed Bas van Steensel as Special Professor of Chromosome Biology. Van Steensel will lead fundamental research into how chromosomes function and how genetic information is ...

We are using a combination of cell biology, live imaging, biochemistry, and proteomics to answer the following questions: 1) When and how does Topo II interact with the complex chromosome structure ...
