The human body is made up of billions of cells. These cells grow and divide through a process called cell division. There are ...

Every time a cell divides to produce two new daughter cells., the genome must be replicated and evenly divided between those ...

For chromosomes to form the iconic X-shape that ensures the accurate passing of genetic information during cell division, a specific set of rules must be followed.

An international team of researchers co-led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, have identified rules that tell cells how to fold DNA into the tightly packed, iconic X-shaped ...

"While we and many others have contributed to the general understanding of how the genome is folded inside chromosomes during mitosis—how cells dynamically acquire their intricate folding ...

This study provides valuable findings on the role of site-specific DNA methylation changes during spermatogenesis and their contribution to paternal epigenetic inheritance. The study proposes that ...

Before each cell division, termed mitosis, the genetic information must first be duplicated. This ensures that each chromosome in the cell that is ready to divide receives two copies of genetic ...
