The structure of a cell’s nucleus has long served as a visible clue to whether a cell is healthy or affected by disease.

Chromosomes are thread-like structures comprising DNA that are present inside the nucleus of every cell in the body. Specific segments of DNA are called genes. Every chromosome contains many genes ...

DNA is organized in segments on chromosomes called genes. Humans typically have ... At the center of each cell lies a nucleus, which contains the information the cell needs to do its job.

This knowledge is crucial for analyzing how DNA structure ... genome feature in the cell nucleus -- and connects them to gene expression patterns. In human cells, chromosomes aren't arranged ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. The nucleus of each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome contains about 1000 genes. There is ...

If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally segregated, leading to genetic ...

Researchers engineered a new gene system in the parasite A. deanei using a bacteriophage enzyme and novel drug markers. This ...

In a leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful ...

If you didn’t have them, your DNA molecules would be too big to fit inside your cells ... genes. When the X chromosome is inactivated, it gets folded into a small, dense structure in the ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes ... The X chromosome carries at least 150 genes linked to intelligence.

To zoom in on changes in chromosome organization during meiosis, the researchers used nuclear membrane and DNA damage protein ... increasing germ cell death and impaired chromosome integrity, she ...

the researchers propose that BBP exposure alters gene expression in ways that cause significant damage to the DNA, ultimately leading to lower quality egg cells with abnormal chromosomes.
