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

A new method for visualising chromosomes is painting a truer picture of their shape, which is rarely like the X-shaped blob of DNA most of us are familiar with. Scientists at the BBSRC-funded Babraham ...

Researchers have made a surprising new discovery in the structure of the centromere, a structure that is involved in ensuring that chromosomes are segregated properly when a cell divides. Mistakes in ...

Researchers from Skoltech, the University of Potsdam, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a ...
