One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

The centromere is necessary for the transport of chromosomes during cell division and, therefore, for the correct ...

Scientists remain divided over whether the human Y chromosome will eventually vanish. But clinicians say the real concern ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

Maternal genetics have an outsized role to play, as they shape body's response to stress, ability to fight with infections ...

A 35-year-old female A visited several hospitals for repeated flank pain and hematuria from a few years ago, but did not ...

The complete assembly of each human chromosome is essential for understanding human biology and evolution. Using complementary long-read sequencing technologies, we complete the first linear assembly ...

Rather than leading to the disappearance of males, Y chromosome decline could trigger new sex determining systems . Similar shifts have already occurred in other mammals. The article suggests that ...

The kinetochore protein complex plays a key role in chromosome behaviour and is therefore essential for cell division. A research team at the IPK Leibniz Institute has now discovered that small ...

Maternal genetics extend far beyond mere aesthetics like eye color; they deeply influence our vitality, cognitive abilities, ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...
