The eukaryotic structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes cohesin, condensin and the SMC5/6 complex organize chromosome structure through their association with DNA and influence a large ...

Cell biologists have found a key clue in the mystery of how chromosomes are inherited correctly every time a cell divides. Using a novel cell probe, they unraveled how a 'matchmaker' molecule stops ...

Female induced pluripotent stem cells, reprogrammed from human skin cells into cells that have the embryonic-like potential to become any cell in the body, retain an inactive X chromosome, stem cell ...

Chromosomes carry our basic genetic material. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Your DNA blueprint (genome) doesn't exist as one ...

Starting as a single cell, organisms undergo millions of generations of divisions to ultimately generate the bones, heart, brain and other components that make up a living being. The mainspring within ...

ChromTR, a novel framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in the ...

Female mammals carry two X chromosomes, while male mammals carry an X and a Y chromosome. The X chromosome carries a thousand genes, so in females, one of the X chromosomes must be silenced to avoid ...

Chromosomes can vary in length and size, but they usually carry thousands of base pairs of DNA. While scientists have successfully edited the genomes of many creatures, most of those edits have been ...

ChromTR, a cutting-edge framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in the field of cytogenetics. This framework, which integrates semantic ...
