Chromosome mapping reveals taxonomic clues, stable genomes in bee orchids and the first reported autotriploid form of the ...

New cytogenetic analysis of two Eigenmannia electric fish species uncovers distinct chromosome structures and a recurring ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study, ...

A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from ...

New research into mitotic chromosomes has found that they are covered in a liquid-like coating that could allow them to bounce off one another, like bumper cars, protecting them from being damaged ...

A comparative genome study and squid embryo experiment explore how folded DNA may shape cephalopod gene regulation.

The body cells of humans and animals contain a double set of chromosomes. One half of the genetic material comes from the mother, the other stems from the father. During the formation of sperm or egg ...

A single DNA letter beside the gene MECP2 lowered its output by 30% in human neurons, and it may help explain autism in boys.

A new study conducted on roundworms finds that a common plastic ingredient causes breaks in DNA strands, resulting in egg cells with the wrong number of chromosomes. Monica Colaiácovo of Harvard ...
