“They appear to form the skeleton for the complex cell architecture of Asgard archaea,” In eukaryotic cells ... transporting materials and dividing chromosomes. Until recently, the origins ...

The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

In the default model, the graph representing each individual enhancer can be arbitrarily complicated. To show how the ABC Score formula can arise from the default model, we need to impose the further ...

Microtubules are important for transport processes within a cell and the segregation of chromosomes during cell ... resembling the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells, especially in the microbes ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a groundbreaking method called LoopTrace. By observing overlapping DNA loops ...

Chromosome abnormality is the condition in a cell or organism where the number of chromosomes or the structure of any chromosome differs from the normal karyotype. When the variant genotype is not ...

These tiny tubes are important for transport processes within a cell and the segregation of chromosomes during ... albeit smaller than those in their eukaryotic relatives. However, only a few ...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the movement of genetic material from one organism to another. In this article, we will discuss what HGT is, how it is used in research, how to detect it and the ...

Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how chromosomes change shape during cell division. Certain protein complexes help fold DNA into ...

The role of centrosomal tubulin glutamylation has remained elusive for decades. Here, a new tool enables precise ...
