Their results provide a novel insight into mitotic chromosome condensation in living human cells. Their work is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS ...

Mitotic chromosome condensation has fascinated biologists since Flemming's early illustrations of mitosis in the late nineteenth century. Now — 130 years later — chromatid condensation is ...

During cell division, chromosomes begin to condense and remain so until the division is complete. A number of proteins in the cell control the condensation, but so too do free ions such as Mg 2+.

This moment occurs in the last step of the cell cycle, the mitosis phase, where chromosomes condense, and fibrous structures called spindles form. Cohesin keeps the sisters properly glued until it ...

Their results provide a novel insight into mitotic chromosome condensation in living human cells. Their work is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on August ...

Therefore, the condensation of chromosomes is essential to accurately transmitting genetic information. A research team led by Professor Changyong Song and Dr. Daeho Sung, and Professor Jae-Hyung Jeon ...

which is essential for DNA condensation. We have also argued that unlinking of the sister chromosomes during DNA replication is aided by removal of pre-catenanes that are forming directly at or just ...

Chromosomes begin to condense, taking on the form that they are usually depicted in: four arms connected at a point. Each chromosome is, at this time, actually two identical copies. Each copy is ...

Our chromosome two, for example, was fused from two separate ones, yet the tweak isn’t present in the gorilla, our close evolutionary cousin. The new study aimed to do one better than evolution: using ...
