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

Researchers have made a significant advancement toward understanding how the human genome is organized inside a single cell. This knowledge is crucial for analyzing how DNA structure influences gene ...

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

Researchers are making strides in understanding how chromosome structures change throughout the cell's life cycle. Researchers at Rice University are making strides in understanding how chromosome ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from ...

Researchers at Rice University are making strides in understanding how chromosome structures change throughout the cell's life cycle. Their study on motorized processes that actively influence the ...

Almost like a moon in a planet, the exclusome (yellow- green dot) lies in the cytoplasm near the nucleus (blue). Even the remarkably familiar can sometimes yield new discoveries: researchers at ETH ...

Hermit crabs have the most chromosomes of any animal, with 254. Chromosomes carry genetic information in the form of DNA. Genes located on autosomes determine the inheritance of physical traits. Sex ...

Whether at the start of a sinus infection or a fresh open wound, neutrophils are the first line of defense in an immune attack. 1 In order to rush to the scene to kill infectious microbes, they have a ...

New research from Oregon Health & Science University describes the science behind a promising technique to treat infertility by turning a skin cell into an egg that is capable of producing viable ...
