A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they ...

Every time a cell divides to produce two new daughter cells., the genome must be replicated and evenly divided between those ...

For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally into two new daughter cells. To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells ...

For chromosomes to form the iconic X-shape that ensures the accurate passing of genetic information during cell division, a ...

Scientists report adaptive divergence in cryptic color pattern is underlain by two distinct, complex chromosomal rearrangements, where millions of bases of DNA were flipped backwards and moved from ...

For chromosomes to form the iconic X-shape that ensures the accurate passing of genetic information during cell division, a ...

A new study has shown how chromosomes change shape during cell division. Certain protein complexes help fold DNA into overlapping loops that repel each other, which then stack to create a rod-like ...

Cells use many complex genetic repair backup systems to fix DNA damage and remain healthy throughout their lives.

For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA – its genome – and segregate it equally into two new daughter cells. To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a groundbreaking method called LoopTrace. By observing overlapping DNA loops ...
