Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...
Scientists from the Kavli Institute of Delft University of Technology and the IMP Vienna Biocenter discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago ...
A picture of a mouse MII stage eggs with the location of chromosomes (green) and the distribution of the histone modification H3K4me3 (purple). The team confirmed that H3K4me3 was significantly ...
Robertsonian chromosomes are associated with infertility and Down syndrome, now cutting-edge DNA sequencing technology has unveiled the first comprehensive picture of their genetic rearrangements.
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes, act much like the plastic tips of shoelaces, preventing our DNA ...
Human fertility hinges on a delicate molecular ballet that begins even before birth. UC Davis researchers have uncovered how special protein networks safeguard chromosomes as eggs and sperm form, ...
