D uring meiosis, the cell division process central to sexual reproduction, all chromosomes must figure out where to destroy the protein cohesin—the molecular glue holding chromosomes together ...

Researchers say study represents a resource that could also help to dissect Y-gene functions in other tissues.

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during ...

Each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. These can be arranged into 23 pairs. Each chromosome in a pair carries the same types of genes. The 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes: In females ...

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins -- KNL2 ...
