In contrast, in eukaryotes, all of the cell's chromosomes are stored inside a structure called the nucleus. Each eukaryotic chromosome is composed of DNA coiled and condensed around nuclear ...

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

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

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that make up the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...

Thus, in her experiments, McClintock observed several fundamental properties of chromosome biology ... the experiments that revealed the actual structure of telomeres. Nature provided the model ...

each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies. How the cell achieves this feat remains largely unknown. Now, for the first time, EMBL scientists have directly ...
