In contrast, in eukaryotes, all of the cell's chromosomes are stored inside a structure called the nucleus. Each eukaryotic chromosome is composed of DNA coiled and condensed around nuclear ...

A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and ...

How do scientists find their way around a chromosome? With chromosome maps called idiograms, researchers can pinpoint the locations of genes and locate abnormal gene forms. Aa Aa Aa Most ...

Each cell with a nucleus contains chromosomes, which are made from DNA Human body cells each contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, half of which are from each parent. So, human gametes (eggs and sperm ...

Human biological sex is determined by the sex chromosomes X and Y. In most cases, females possess two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y. However, there is some evidence that the Y ...

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK Leibniz Institute (IPK) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

Some mutations can affect the structure of one or more chromosomes - these are chromosome structure mutations.

Artificial chromosomes are essentially miniature versions of real chromosomes that can replicate alongside their natural counterparts in host cells. They have the potential to be “incredibly useful ...

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK ...

As a result, most of the Y today is made up of repetitive "junk DNA." With such an unstable composition, the Y chromosome is at risk of disappearing over multiple generations. Males tend to only ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.
