In prokaryotes, the circular chromosome is contained in the cytoplasm in an area called the nucleoid. In contrast, in eukaryotes, all of the cell's chromosomes are stored inside a structure called ...

Chromatin is only found in eukaryotic cells, with prokaryotic cells having a different arrangement of their genetic material called a genophore - a chromosome that doesn't contain chromatin.

Yeast cells with "unusual properties." Eukaryotic chromosomes belong to eukaryotes — organisms such as animals, plants, and yeast whose cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus. Although ...

A chromosome may be circular or linear in shape, with nucleated or eukaryotic cells having linear chromosomes, and prokaryotic cells usually containing circular chromosomes. Chromosomes may also ...

Eukaryotic cells, including human cells, form paired condensed chromosomes before cell division. The paired chromosomes are then equally divided into the daughter cells. Prokaryotic cells ...

Their discovery, "Chromosome Size in Diploid Eukaryotic Species Centers on the Average Length with a Conserved Boundary," was recently published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution.

A map of the designer yeast chromosome built by Boeke and his colleagues. Image: Boeke et al. “This work reports the first designer eukaryotic chromosome that has been synthesized from scratch ...

In March undergraduate students in Johns Hopkins University's Build a Genome course announced they had made a yeast chromosome from scratch—and history, too. It is the first time anyone has ...

It is the first synthetic chromosome ever assembled from a eukaryotic organism, the type in which cells store DNA in nuclei. Other groups have previously synthesized chromosomes from bacteria ...
