“Our work is the first to directly test how chromosome structure affects bacterial growth, survival, and ability to cause ...

Researchers at Rice University are making strides in understanding how chromosome structures change throughout the cell's life cycle. Their study on motorized processes that actively influence the ...

American Journal of Botany, Vol. 27, No. 8 (Oct., 1940), pp. 683-686 (4 pages) Metaphase and anaphase chromosomes of the second reduction division of Gasteria spp. hitherto considered as displaying an ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Researchers have made a surprising new discovery in the structure of the centromere, a structure that is involved in ensuring that chromosomes are segregated properly when a cell divides. Mistakes in ...

Researchers are making strides in understanding how chromosome structures change throughout the cell's life cycle. Researchers at Rice University are making strides in understanding how chromosome ...

Researchers have created human embryos by taking nuclei from ordinary skin cells, placing them into donated eggs, and ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of ...

During sexual reproduction, haploid gametes (i.e. eggs and sperm) are generated from diploid precursors through the specialized cell division of meiosis. Meiosis reduces ploidy by following one round ...
