Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves.

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

It is a genetic condition caused when an unusual cell division result in an extra full or even partial copy of chromosome 21.

When a gene gets duplicated, it often leads to the recipe being followed too many times, and the resulting “leftovers,” the excess proteins, are generally bad for the cell, Alvarez-Ponce said.

Now researchers might have uncovered a source for this resilience: the second X chromosome in female cells that was previously considered ‘silent’. Why the sexes don’t feel pain the same way ...

We therefore used Hi-C and Micro-C data (Hsieh et al, 2016) to map and quantify the plasmid physical contacts with the host chromosomes. We show that the plasmid contacts a set of discrete loci that ...
