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 ...

A mouse study shows that the TREM2-R47H variant alters bone structure in ways that depend on both chromosomal sex and gonadal ...

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 ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of ...

Centromeres, specialized regions located at the center of chromosomes, are critical for ensuring proper cell division. During mitosis, centromeres serve as assembly sites for complex protein ...
