As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase), chromosomes become progressively more compact through a combination of ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

In a leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of ...

Cancer cells with extra chromosomes depend on those chromosomes for tumor growth, a new study reveals, and eliminating them prevents the cells from forming tumors. The findings, said the researchers, ...

The human genetic blueprint is deceptively simple. Our genes are tightly wound into 46 X-shaped structures called chromosomes. Crafted by evolution, they carry DNA and replicate when cells divide, ...

Researchers have made a significant advancement toward understanding how the human genome is organized inside a single cell. This knowledge is crucial for analyzing how DNA structure influences gene ...

ChromTR, a cutting-edge framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in the field of cytogenetics. This framework, which integrates semantic ...

Cancer researchers have long treated genetic chaos and epigenetic rewiring as separate engines of disease, two parallel ...

A Brazilian woman’s routine post-miscarriage tests led to a rare genetic revelation that surprised doctors and adds to our ...

Doctors in Brazil discover and confirm that a woman has blood with male chromosomes, a rare case of human chimerism.
