New chromosome-level evidence suggests Medicago evolution followed a more complex, and surprising path, than previously ...

DNA does not float freely in the cell. Instead, it is wrapped around histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes.

Using CRISPR, multiomics, and machine learning, molecular biologist Larschan unravels the mysteries of the X chromosome.

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren’t ...

The Disney Jr. soundstage is part of Animation Courtyard, which is currently closed. The new temporary structure is directly outside the large theater doors, which may become the new entrance or exit.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens magnified 15,000 times in an image captured earlier this year with a scanning electron microscope at Iowa State University's Roy J. Carver High Resolution Microscopy Facility ...

Mitotic chromosomes are essential for faithful genome segregation and play a central role in ensuring genomic stability and the proper generation of daughter cells (Santaguida et al., 2017; Batty and ...

“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...

Flip open a high-school biology textbook, and the rule seems tidy: two X chromosomes mean girl, and an X paired with a Y means boy. That much smaller Y chromosome carries the SRY gene, which is the ...
