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 ...

So, it's very easy to see,” she said. To zoom in on changes in chromosome organization during meiosis, the researchers used nuclear membrane and DNA damage protein stains to track nuclear behavior.

But some plants have taken a different approach. They have evolved sex chromosomes, the bits of DNA that make individual plants either male or female. In that club are organisms like the ginkgo ...

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 ...

ChromoGen: A quick method to determine 3D genomic structures using generative AI, enabling the prediction of thousands of ...

First, in addition to alignment-based homology searches that rely on conserved functional motifs, emerging structural data on the different families of DNA polymerases will facilitate structure ...

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

A Washington State University Spokane research team has made a breakthrough at the cellular level in studying the secrets of ...

Quantification and characterization of these multiple HML-2 insertions in the human chromosome has been challenging ... Structure of novel insertion sequences. The structure of the novel insertions, ...

How is the same process responsible for genetic recombination and diversity also the cause of aneuploidy? Understanding the steps of meiosis is essential to learning how errors occur. Researchers ...

Some of the breakpoints interrupted normal gene structure, and in other cases ... Due to the presence of allelic drop-out when assaying single cells in PGD, markers along a very long stretch of DNA ...

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. They determine the ...
