It's tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate ...
Researchers have just completed the first full sequence of a Y chromosome- what will we learn? The Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium, co-led by UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute Associate Director ...
The most accurate quantitative model yet for understanding the role of condensin during cell division is also visually stunning. A team of scientists from UT Austin have developed the most accurate ...
Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren’t ...
Two decades after the human genome sequence was completed, researchers have finally finished a map of the piece that makes males distinct. The Y chromosome is what distinguishes biological males from ...
Chromosomes are tightly coiled structures in each of your cells that contain DNA, the code for all life. DNA is organized in segments on chromosomes called genes. Humans typically have 46 chromosomes ...
