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 ...

Researchers have made a surprising new discovery in the structure of the centromere, a structure that is involved in ensuring that chromosomes are segregated properly when a cell divides. Mistakes in ...
In male cells of the fruit fly Drosophila, the X chromosome is twice as active as in female cells. Researchers have now discovered how the enzyme responsible recognizes the chromosome. In male cells ...
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 ...
One of the challenges of working with ancient DNA samples is that damage accumulates over time, breaking up the structure of the double helix into ever smaller fragments. In the samples we've worked ...
Molecular cytogenetics provides valuable tools and insights for comparative genomics research and has emerged as promising for understanding genome evolution and organization. In particular, whole ...
A summary report is given of the results obtained from a very brief study of chromosome and nuclear behavior in Neurospora crassa. The investigations are admittedly incomplete and possibly some errors ...
