As Figure 2 illustrates, additional subdivisions can be detected in all of the regions on chromosome 12 under these conditions. The Human Genome Project Provides the Ultimate Chromosome Map ...

Building a chromosome from scratch may sound like science fiction, but scientists have actually done it-and made it work. In ...

The Cancer Chromosome Aberration Project generates a repository of BAC clones with a resolution of 1–2 megabases. The cytogenetic location of all clones is established by high-resolution ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from ...

Researchers in the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) at The University of Manchester have created the tRNA Neochromosome – a chromosome that is new to nature. It forms part of a wider ...

Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research in London and Linköping University in Sweden have discovered how cells prevent their chromosomes from mistakenly fusing together. Two proteins ...

Hermit crabs have the most chromosomes of any animal, with 254. Chromosomes carry genetic information in the form of DNA. Genes located on autosomes determine the inheritance of physical traits.
