A CRISPR mutant series in rice reveals that three redundant CDC20 proteins control the metaphase-to-anaphase transition in ...

New research in Science Advances shows that the DREAM complex, long known as a gene-silencing brake in dividing cells, ...

All cells have a cell cycle, where they grow, copy their DNA, and spilt into new cells during cell division. There are two types of cell division – mitosis and meiosis. During meiosis, a diploid (2n) ...

In human cells, DNA carries chemical or "epigenetic" marks that decide how genes will be used in different tissues. Yet in a group of specialized cells, known as "germ cells," which will later form ...

A research team at the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed a method that enables the detailed observation of female meiosis—the process by which germ cells are formed—in the model plant Arabidopsis ...

There is a high unmet need for accessible, affordable, and high-quality fertility care, as approximately 1 in 6 people are affected by infertility worldwide. While meiotic failure is a major cause of ...
