A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...

Eukaryotic chromosome fine structure refers to the structure of sequences for eukaryotic chromosomes. Some fine sequences are included in more than one class, so the classification listed is not ...

Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) have identified key changes to both chromosome ...

When the X chromosome is inactivated, it gets folded into a small, dense structure in the nucleus of the cell. This is called a Barr body. Since the X chromosome is larger than the Y chromosome ...

New research in fruit flies reveals key changes to both chromosome structure and gene expression that affect stem cell function during aging.

Scientists have created "a form of information immortality" meant to instruct future species on how to recreate humans. But ...

THE elucidation of the structure of the human chromosome is of basic biological importance. A more detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved in utilization, duplication, and transferral of ...

This gene works by stimulating another key gene, SOX9, which is crucial for male development across vertebrates. Most mammals share a similar X and Y chromosome structure, but this system presents ...
