Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic ...

Polytene chromosomes have for 80 years provided the highest resolution view of interphase genome structure in an animal cell nucleus. These chromosomes represent the normal genomic state of nearly all ...

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

AI tool reveals single-cell structure of chromosomes—in 3D by Eric Stann, University of Missouri edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

New AI tool reveals single-cell structure of chromosomes — in 3D A breakthrough at the University of Missouri could help scientists better understand how genes work — and how certain types of ...

What Is a Translocation Mutation? A change in chromosome structure and content caused by translocation is a translocation mutation. Many genes may be transferred between chromosomes.

B chromosomes, studied in rye by the IPK Leibniz Institute, manipulate cell division via “chromosome drive.” Using advanced sequencing, researchers identified five candidate genes, including DCR28, a ...

The RCM coordination structure is flexible by design. It is intended to be adapted to the functional requirements and existing capacity of each context. The sample RCM structure below is a maximum ...

Diagrams of possible loop topologies generated by loop extrusion and boundary:boundary pairing. A) Cohesin embraces a loop at a loading site somewhere within the TAD-to-be and then extrudes a loop at ...

Researchers at Rice University are making strides in understanding how chromosome structures change throughout the cell's life cycle.

Research on centromere structure yields new insights into the mechanisms of chromosome segregation errors Date: May 13, 2024 Source: Hubrecht Institute Summary: Researchers have made a surprising ...
