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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and chromosome aberrations were induced in nondividing CHO cells that had been arrested in their cell cycle by deprivation of the essential amino acid arginine. Cells ...

Somatic cell hybrids between mouse and human cell lines have been used to identify the specific chromosome that governs the synthesis of type I procollagen. Fourteen hybrid clones and subclones were ...

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

Osaka, Japan - Before cell division when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, each with an identical set of genetic information, replicated chromosomes become condensed and align along the ...

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 ...

For a living cell to divide successfully, each daughter cell must inherit the correct genetic material. In eukaryotes, segregation of duplicated chromosomes is performed by the mitotic spindle, a ...

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 ...
