As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase), chromosomes become progressively more compact through a combination of ...

Scientists at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) have made a major discovery about cancer cells. This new understanding could help make chemotherapy work better, reduce side effects, and ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks ...

A hallmark of cancerous cells is an abnormal number of chromosomes or chromosome arms, known as aneuploidy. While aneuploidy is detrimental to regular cells, it occurs in as many as 90% of tumors. How ...

Cancer’s most catastrophic DNA damage has long looked like a crime scene without a culprit, with chromosomes shattered and ...

The human genetic blueprint is deceptively simple. Our genes are tightly wound into 46 X-shaped structures called chromosomes. Crafted by evolution, they carry DNA and replicate when cells divide, ...

Now, in a new Molecular Cell study, Liu's team looked at how cells function when chromosomes are missing. To their surprise, ...

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as ...

Our DNA is compacted and arranged into chromosomes, most of which are shaped like X’s. The ends of the chromosomes arms are ...

ChromTR, a cutting-edge framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in the field of cytogenetics. This framework, which integrates semantic ...
