Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

Chromosomes occupy specific regions of a nucleus, called "chromosome territories." These subdomains might be doing much more than just keeping everything organized.

The scientists built a computational model that allowed them to simulate the process of chromosome compaction based on a few fundamental assumptions ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...
