Ultra-deep long-read sequencing has delivered the first telomere-to-telomere sequence of the non-Mendelian ribosomal DNA ...

A cytogenetic study of 30 Quasipaa spinosa frogs from one Hunan farm found 26 chromosomes in both sexes, with nine ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that can disrupt DNA replication at the ends of chromosomes, shedding new light on one of the most fundamental challenges faced by ...

CD BioSciences, a service provider supporting biological aging research, recently announced its telomere length analy ...

"I've memorized 'meiosis.' But when asked about the number of chromosomes, I get it wrong."Have you ever felt that way when looking at your child's test answers?They know it "becomes half." But they ...

In cell division, one cell becomes two.”Your child might be able to answer up to this point.However, when it comes to questions about arranging diagrams of the division process in order or answering ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A Japanese research team has demonstrated that CRISPR-Cas9 can selectively remove the extra copy of chromosome 21 from cells ...

At the scale of individual cells, the human body is constantly in motion. Every second, millions of cells divide, particularly in tissues such as the bone marrow, intestine and skin; neurons and heart ...

It's tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate everything inside of them, including their neatly packaged DNA, then split in half.

Studies reveal why some cancers are so much more dangerous than others - Researchers say findings may help improve diagnoses ...

Spatial biology depends on the structural dynamics of the constituents of the cell. We propose that such dynamics during the cell cycle depend to a large extent on the origin of replication and its ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...
