Every time a cell divides to produce two new daughter cells., the genome must be replicated and evenly divided between those ...

The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

For chromosomes to form the iconic X-shape that ensures the accurate passing of genetic information during cell division, a ...

According to Dr. Gibcus, during the mitotic phase of cell division, four different loop-extruding machines are acting simultaneously along the chromosomes: two types of cohesin machines and two types ...

Genetics plays a significant role in the size of a penis, largely directed by the chromosomes you inherit from your mother and father. Certain inheritable features (like your height) may also ...

As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase), chromosomes become progressively more compact through a ...

This repulsion causes the loops to stack, ultimately giving each chromosome its characteristic rod-like shape. As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, ...

By creating a computational framework to model systems of replicating bacterial chromosomes as polymers at 10 bp resolution with Brownian dynamics, we investigate changes in chromosome organization ...

Here, we use the haploid plant Marchantia polymorpha to assess gene dosage control in its short-lived diploid embryo. We show that throughout embryogenesis, paternal chromosomes are repressed ...

Starting in 1969 laser scissors have been used to study and manipulate chromosomes in mitotic animal cells. Key studies demonstrated that using the “hot spot” in the center of a focused Gaussian laser ...
