Researchers have identified the exact DNA sequence where human chromosomes fuse to form Robertsonian chromosomes, a ...

The Atlas blue butterfly, with a record-breaking 229 pairs of chromosomes, is helping scientists unravel mysteries of ...

Many of us are familiar with typical diagrams of a chromosome, which is sometimes depicted like a stubby X. While that picture may resemble what is seen after some chromosome staining methods, in the ...

Scientists have confirmed that the Atlas blue butterfly carries the most chromosomes of any animal, with 229 pairs. Unlike duplication, its chromosomes split apart, reshaping its genome in surprising ...

Around the world, women outlive men by an average of around 5.4 years. A distinction in life expectancy between sexes is ...

In human cells, lengthy strands of DNA have to be carefully organized and compacted so they'll fit into the nucleus; our genome is arranged into chromosomes that have to be duplicated each time a cell ...

U of A Comprehensive Cancer Center Director Dr. Dan Theodorescu plans to study loss of Y chromosome biology and investigate ...

Scientists in Australia have made some intriguing discoveries in the genomes of a wide range of animals. What was initially mistaken for dust on the slides turned out to be tiny “microchromosomes” ...

At a seminar hosted by the physics department, a Georgetown graduate spoke to students and faculty about how chromosomes assume their characteristic “X” shape during cell division. The Jan. 31 talk, ...

This interesting study adapts machine learning tools to analyze movements of a chromatin locus in living cells in response to serum starvation. The machine learning approach developed is useful, the ...
