A FISH study of 15 ant species and a review of newer cytogenetic data support one rDNA-bearing chromosome pair as the likely ...

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

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, ...

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 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 ...

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 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 ...
