In yeast, unlike in multicellular organisms, the cell cycle lacks chromosome condensation and is unaffected by cell contacts and cell differentiation. In frog and marine invertebrate oocytes and ...

6) for MukB-mediated DNA condensation that was distinct from the prevailing ... This argues strongly that complete chromosome unlinking during the cell cycle is a combination of the action of Type I ...

Mitotic chromosome condensation is an essential process ... the absolute densities in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm in various cell cycle stages of human HCT116 cells and Indian Muntjac DM cells.

If cell division occurs with DNA that is almost two meters in length, there is the risk of damage or loss in genetic information. Therefore, the condensation of chromosomes is essential to accurately ...

The identification of the principle of chromosome condensation in this work is the stepping stone to understanding chromatin dynamics during the course of the cell cycle," says Dr. Amanda Camara.

For the first time, scientists have directly observed events that lead to the formation of a chromosome abnormality ... the breaks happen during the cell division cycle. Cells have built-in ...

Healthy human cells have two (diploid) sets of chromosomes. However ... them immediately after they are formed in the first cell cycle." The researchers looked at these cells immediately after ...
