During interphase, the chromosomes of animal cells are organized into regions with high intra-chromosomal interactions, which are known as topologically associating domains (TADs), and regions of ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

New AI tool reveals single-cell structure of chromosomes — in 3D. University of Missouri-Columbia. Journal NAR Genomics and Bioinformatics DOI 10.1093/nargab/lqaf027. Keywords / Life sciences ...

Researchers have found that cancer cells contain shattered chromosomes that can allow a tumor to become more aggressive and help it resist chemotherapy drugs. Cancers evolve over several steps ...

Hermit crabs have the most chromosomes of any animal with 254 or 127 pairs, while humans have 46 or 23 pairs. Each species has a specific number of chromosomes and they vary widely.

In this dividing cell, chromosome fragments (red) remain in the middle of the green spindle structure, while the rest of the chromosomes have segregated to the two poles. Fragments that fail to ...

Time-lapse microscope images show the packing of chromosomes in a chicken cell’s nucleus into tiny capsules. Only minor changes happen after the first 15 minutes. J. Gibcus et al / Science 2018 ...

A human cell carries in its nucleus two meters of spiraling DNA, split up among the 46 slender, double-helical molecules that are its chromosomes. Most of the time, that DNA looks like a tangled ...

The paper "Concurrent loss of the Y chromosome in cancer and T cells impacts outcome," was published today in Nature. In males, each cell in the body usually contains one X and one Y chromosome.
