Humans inherit one set of chromosomes from their mother and a second set from their father. In total, most human cells contain 46 chromosomes with 22 pairs of autosomes, or non-sex chromosomes ...

The biological research of UC Santa Cruz’s Needhi Bhalla to determine the molecular motions at the heart of heredity has ...

The nucleus of each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome contains about 1000 genes. There is enough DNA in all the cells in a human body to stretch to the sun and back again ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally into two new daughter cells. To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells during cell ...

Comprehensive reference genomes have now been assembled for six ape species: siamang (a Southeast Asian gibbon), Sumatran ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair.

Dr Tatini Rakshit, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry, School of Natural Sciences, Shiv Nadar University, highlights how innovative approaches like chromosome analysis and AFM could signific ...

The research focused on parts of chromosomes known as human accelerated ... of HARs in artificial neurons derived from human and chimpanzee cell lines. The human and chimpanzee genomes are 99% ...

For generations, a tiny piece of DNA has mastered the art of inheritance by hijacking the yeast cell’s division machinery, ...

CRISPR-Cas9 editing leads to widespread loss of the targeted chromosome in human T cells, but scientists recently discovered a way to prevent such loss. To investigate how Cas9 gene editing affected T ...

“Instead of floating freely and risking uneven distribution, the 2-micron plasmid has evolved a clever trick of hitchhiking,” ...
