The presence of more than one chromosome is a universal feature of eukaryotic cells. The V. cholerae genome sequence now offers bacteriologists an opportunity, in a genetically tractable organism ...

This study provides useful information on the impact of Lamin A/C knockdown on gene expression using RNA-Seq analysis. In addition, the impact of Lamin A/C knockdown on telomere dynamics is explored ...

Researchers have revealed the fundamental mechanisms underlying homologous recombination – one of the main DNA repair pathways in human cells.

Interdisciplinary researchers explored the future of cell science at the 2025 biophysics symposium, held at CMU.

Ordering a full Encyclopedia Britannica set in 2025 sounds like something only a committed Luddite, or someone who refuses to ...

University of Arizona scientists have discovered that the loss of the Y chromosome in men's cells may make it more difficult ...

The cancer cells of some men feature a striking mutation: their Y chromosome is missing altogether. Now, tantalizing research suggests that this mutation can spread ‘contagiously’ from tumour ...

Researchers have uncovered a "selfish" X chromosome in the fruit fly Drosophila testacea that manages to distort inheritance in both sperm and eggs. "But until now, we've only ever seen a ...

Researchers from the University of Arizona have unveiled that coordinated Y chromosome loss in both cancer cells and immune cells may explain the worse prognosis in people with this alteration. The ...

Chromosomes are the tiny storage boxes that hold our DNA. Since each cell has about six feet of DNA packed inside it, it must be folded up tightly to fit. This folding not only saves space — it ...
