A new study challenges prevalent models of chromosome formation during mitotic cell division. The study compared the dimensions of chromosomes in yeasts and humans and found that not only is the width ...

Mitotic chromosomes are pivotal for the inheritance of genetic material. Now, it is already known that chromosomes vary in dimensions among organisms. But what governs mitotic chromosomal size and ...

The Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium, co-led by UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute Associate Director Karen Miga and National Institutes of Health Genomics Research Institute Senior Investigator ...

Older female mice show poor spatial memory when their paternal X chromosome is inactive and only the maternal copy is active. This phenomenon could be responsible for variation in age-related ...

The Y chromosome is perhaps the most puzzling part of the human genome. Associated with male development, it is chock-full of repetitive and inverted stretches of DNA, a hurdle that makes it ...

DLGAP5 is proposed as a causal gene related to oocyte meiosis disorder for the first time. It expanded the current spectrum of pathogenic genes responsible for the phenotype of oocyte maturation and ...

There are two types of chromatin, euchromatin and heterochromatin, that vary with the stages of the cell cycle. In particular, euchromatin with rich active genes localizes to the interior of the ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures comprising DNA that are present inside the nucleus of every cell in the body. Specific segments of DNA are called genes. Every chromosome contains many genes, ...
